Elsinore, Riverside Co., Cal'd.
Traps were mainly set on the slight hummocks or ridges where the burrows were not under water.
Drove on down the south side of the lake to a place 4 mi. SSE Elsinore, 1300 ft., Riverside Co., Calif. Then made three sets of Macabee traps in fresh burrows in an orchard. Soil here was brown and slightly clayey.
Returned to Ontario in the rain.
