Quast 1948 Journal 33 April 25 1/2 mile road south of El Mamo? 2200 ft Baja Calif. rat signs among the boulders. Shot two Brush Rabbits this morning, but did not put up the specimens, one being immature, the other being badly mutilated. We fried them for breakfast. Dr. Benson put up a immature specimen he shot. I set out 50 live traps last night and could find only 49 of them this morning. Caught were 1 Dipodomys agilis, 2 Dipodomys ericemi, and 1 Peromyscus fallor. No bats were seen at dusk last night, but one was heard after dark. April 25 Mina La Fortuna 2350 ft 2 mi Laguna Seca Chapala Baja Calif. Arrived here at dusk after a very rocky, bumpy ride from our last camp. We left the previous location about 1:00 P.M. and passed through boulder country and then lower country on our trip. Very tall palms were present near Catavina and also at and near houses south of it. The Cardonier and Cirio thinned with the disappearance of the boulders and gave way to barrel cactus and DeTillo in its latter half of the days trip. Cirio can still be seen however on the mountainsides. Seen during the trip were two Antelope Chipmunks and one Red-tailed hawk.
