Palmer
1935
Dipodomys merriami
7 mi. E Ontario, 1050 ft., San Bernardino C., Calif.
Aug. 9, 1935
Caught 1 in 50 gr.-size mouse traps set 15
pairs apart across a low dunes of fine
sand by low plants of Ambrosia psilo-
stachya, Oenothera pallida var. californi-
cal, Nicotiana bigelovii, Salsola kali, Crotor
californicus, and Amaranthus gracizans.
This specimen, a 3, had enlarged testes.
Numerous tail tracks in the sand would
seem to show that there is a greater population
here than this record indicates.
