P. PEARSON 1955 So these two trap lines straddle Cienita Canyon! Then returned to Mena for the night and set about half a line of traps at the [illegible] black house across the road and above the RR station. Unlike last night, most of this Tillandsia is the biggest kind - but sparser. However, up near the top of the hill I found what looks like 2 visorcha burrows and set steel traps there as well as 1 other steel trap in a not-so-good place. Quite often dropping around. These traps set at dusk so better not run them too early so that a diurnal beast would have time to get caught in the morning. Fog lower down the valley, but none at Mena yet (7:15). 1/2 moon now. [Foggy at 8:30pm] a corner iron pole (old) up by the visorcha burrows suggests that local hunters had been up there. Aug 24 clearish at 6 a.m. scented for damp rusty smoke (cotton plant burning season), but fog came in about 7 a.m. Nothing in Mena traps line, but while running it saw a visorcha nearing steel traps and shot at him but missed, while checking one of the traps later he dashed out of a hole 6 feet away from me and escaped. Left 5 steel traps there, Wild cat squadded on road at Cienita Canyon. The trap line up on the cliff at 1 mi. E. San Bernardino, 5200 ft., caught [illegible], 1 ardwin, and 1 jwr. possibly [illegible]. THe line at 1 mi. W Suevo, 6000ft; caught 1 jwr. Zuni? rat, [illegible]?, and 5 [illegible]?, several of these pregnant, the first pregnant ardwin, [illegible]. Several traps on the lower part of
