Oct. 1931 San Antonio, 5406 ft., Nye Co., Nev. 7-5-3 Sept. 17, 1931 series of sand dunes east of the main road 8 miles. Set out 55 traps here along sides and tops of dunes, finally turning line down to almost flat country a few hundred feet away from last dune towards another dune extending far to the west. Coyote tracks very abundant. A number of bushes grow on the dunes. This A.M. The dunes produced 1 light colored Microdipodes, one specimen (309) being taken almost on the flat country between the two last dunes; 2 Dipodomys merriami, 1 Dipod- omys leipes, and 1 Dipodomys Odocomyx c. brevicaudus. This traps farther north by the small lake contained 3 dark Kangaroo Rice, 1 Bunomysus sp. omnivorus, and 1 Dipodomys leipes. In the lake were: 1 Avocet, 1 Willet, 1 Phalarope (too far to classify), and a flock of ducks (too far off for id- entification, but showing a white malar stripe), probably Ruddy Ducks.
