areas where we set traps seemed to be at the edge of a band of Barberia bushes. On the way back to the car at 8, passed one fresh earth mound and set a tunic trap there. Returning at dusk with sleeping bags and supper, saw one Rattles - signs found, ate supper in middle of the third area (greatest density of holes, no traps), but saw or heard nothing. Then checked some of the traps by flashlight (and bright 1/2 moon). One tunic in a steel trap (squealed instead of grunted), and one Shadown longipes in a cage trap. Saw two Rethrodors during this check. They sat there and let you get close to them, then run down a hole. It would be easy to shoot them with .22 caliber no.12 shot. Nov. 16 partly cloudy moon set just before dawn. A brief prayer with flashlight about 5 am saw (Rattles). Heard barn owl about this time, and I may have heard one burst of two song. Checked traps at 6 a.m. One more also long's in an underground steel trap, and a few spring-empty. Hiked back to the car. Shaved and set up in Espina negra and bunchgrass/Barberia/newer Baccharis/savio desert. Day sunny + windy. Hiked back up to the wallin and picked up traps. Two more tunics in steel traps, 3 also, longi; and one Chelomyz under a Barberia bush. Nothing in the staff traps set near the car. The chelomyz was caught since 6 am., as were the tunics. Walked from the car uphill to the SE to some big old complete cypress tree in the espina negra and
