Boy measured distance from grid to irrigation with 1 twine = 975 ft. To ridge between irrigation and grid was 700 ft. Myral counted live Tillandsia on the sparsest areas and got the following counts: A9-B10 = 214; A10-B11 = 96; B11-A12 = 15; B12-C11 = 97; C11-D10=74; D10-C9 = 82; E9-C10 = 182; F7-G6 = 80; F7-E6=276 K5-L4 = 61. K5-J4 = 248; B2-C1 = 225. The "nest" with 2 eggs along Myral's Calburn drive was dew-covered, hence abandoned, Photographed live Tillandsia crossed by a random string just north of study area (50 feet) to get area covered by leaves. The dead leaves were covered up with paper. Many leaves are dead at the tips but alive at the base, revealed by slope line -> dead x on our point samples (8 ft SE of stakes), a hit on the dead tip was counted as dead Tillandsia. Concerning captive mice: The domesticus and guadaluensis captured to be placid, almost boring, and the annexus wilder. The big female domesticus gave birth July 11 and the big female guadalensis today (4 young). They are not active early in the evening; in fact they seem to be almost completely inactive until about 5 a.m. So this why survival is so good in lixtrope? They may not get caught until 5 or 5:30. at 4 p.m. set out the grid traps again, beginning at A2, nothing in Calburns, at Union Roady.
