Quest 1948 Journal 97 June 2 6 mi N. San Jose del Cabo, 250' ft, Baja California Maximum temp today was 88°F. Shot bats last night at dusk and obtained three Dasypus ega, 18, 24. Found that the Dasypetus hid in the dry fronds of palm trees in vicinity, Murray seeing one alight thus last night and shooting it afterwards, and Dr. Benson chasing them out of palm tree at 9 this morning by probing the fronds with a long stick (several of these obtained). Cetillus leucurus are very plentiful in a tar- puckley pear patch 100 yards south of camp. Shot a Lepus californicus then at noon today (#295). Dr. Benson obtained a number of Balantiapterys plicata this afternoon from a cave several miles from here. Tevis caught a large rattlesnake on the flat west of here this evening. Water may be found in a ditch 100 yds S.W. of here. The ditch is dug in a stream bottom to a depth of about two feet and contains water for over 50 yards. The water is clear and about one inch deep. Dr. Benson set by the ditch last night for an hour after dark but obtained only one Dasypus ega that was not drinking, but flying over his head. Birds seen today: Thrasher, Sparrow-Hawk, Queel, Hooded & Scott Owl, Caracara, American Raven, Turkey Vulture, Gila Woodpecker, Cactus
