Quest 1948 Journal 38 April 28, 30 mi S.E. Mesquit at 600 ft Baja California. The soil is coarse gravel in its rises and silt and sand in the heavily vegetated washes. Minimum temperature last night was 47°F, maximum was 90°F (about 1:00 P.M.). It was very foggy this morning and cleared about 9:00 A.M. It was a light fog and did not interfere with visibility. We are about 8 miles direct S.W. of Calmalli. 49 traps set last night in sand and silt among heavy vegetation (Yucca, Cholla, Scotila, and brush) caught 2 Dipodomys merriami. Two traps were moved approx. 20 yards, presumably by Coyotes. Tevis had one trap lost and another badly battered (live traps) by Coyote. Diplolemmus bachmani and Lepus calif- orius abound in the heavy vegetation of the washes. Bats were heard last night, but not seen at dusk. Dr. Benson shot a California quail from a flock of about 20 yesterday. Coturnix tordeau leucurus are common among the heavy vegetation. Tevis shot a California Jay this afternoon and a rattlesnake was shot by Dr.
