At 8:30 P.M. revealed the presence of two light colored Microdipodops.
Sept. 20, 1931
This a.m. traps contained 1 Dipodomys deserti, 1 Dipodomys leucipes and 1 Onychomys t. longicaudus. The poor trapping may be due to the cold raw North wind which blew all night. A raven flew over camp at 6:30 a.m.

This a.m. after finishing skinning at 10:30 a.m. packed and in early P.M. went to Goldfield. From there we went south east to Stenwall flat. Being cocky I only placed out 17 traps near camp. Country where we camped is flat dark sandy soil, covered with small gravel. Small dunes are scattered about. Vegetation is scarce.
