mandibles and 46 left mandibles of Eucampus plus 11 others with missing and upper tooth row and 96 left mandibles of 103 St. mandibles of Eucampus !!! 3 or 4 other tooth rows not yet identified. Very interesting to find 46 teeth of 103 Eucampus when we can find no trees of them here. We looked on the flats below the cave and towards Confluence also for tree digging and saw none. In the afternoon I put out 2 lines of big Sherman, about 16 in rather and meadows - bunchgrass - collets about a ½ km towards Confluences from the cave, and another 24+ in the flats below the cave between the road and the river. also semi- and meadow, bunchgrass etc. Arnto put out lines south of the road (mixed museum specials and big Shermans). nov. 24 Some clouds early AM but then clear. Total number of traps out was op. 100, AKP 60 = E 160. Total cats: also longi 29, Ambecamp 6, Crysacamp 2. No clear segregation of habitats. Aulecamp out in the most arid habitat (could find Chines trying for chodon pantorhineus). Visited the anthropologists again. They had just found a bestodolphys mandible in Capa 3. We reviewed their screening process to see how much "selection" goes on. They use a fairly coarse screen so that an chodon jaw might just about slip through, if it hits end-on... They are definitely mandible-oriented but take mandibular pieces if they are fairly obvious. The two samples we helped to sort had about twice as many pairs of mandibles as fragments of maxillary.
