To Magdalena with Contreras, Carl Potters. Camped at
the cow pasture + solar 24 hrs. S E of Magdalena at 9 a.m.
Set about 7 muscoles and to run them many hour or
so and caught 18 times during the day. Sunny, light
breeze. Males with testes about 60 mm look passed,
almost all 9-9 lactating and early preg. The fetuses
don't look healthy. Almost all with 3 fetuses.
Definitely 2 kinds of soil here: dark with shells, quite
heavy and hard digging in place, and a much lighter, very
sandy brown soil. Quite sets in between the two
in a soil somewhat intermediate but mostly
sandy (and with shells). The only 9 caught
1/4 of the force had 6 fetuses instead of 3. Taken 1/8 June.
