The Oryzomys were caught in the sandy areas. The Rattus was caught quite far away from anything but small brush. It was captured in a mouse trap. The traps had been dragged 50 feet from the spot where it was set. Three mounds of Dipodomys deserti were found last night and I set traps around them, but this morning all the traps were springing and empty. My plans about the traps their tracks were numerous and the sand had been shoved up.
