Palmer 1937 January Ontario, 100 ft., S.B. Co., Calif. Jan. 13. This A.M. left Ontario and drove via Chino, Rincón, Santa Ana Canon, Olive, Justin to Newport Beach. Then I with the help of Mr. David Dundas of Ontario spent most of the day digging on the beach for the small whale buried there (see previous notes Dec. 26 and Jan. 5) and spent a good deal of time probing the sand with a long, sharp pointed iron rod with a T handle but failed to find any trace of the whale. Returned to Justin, 100 ft., Orange Co., Calif. where I stopped at the home of my aunt Miss May Green- leaf on south "B" St. There I found a mole in the mole trap I had set on Jan. 3. [illegible] and a Rattus r. alexandrinus in the rat trap I had set in the garage on the same day. Both had apparently been catched some time before but were no fair shape owing to the cold weather we have been having. Then traveled on home to Ontario.
