Quart 1948 Journal 106 June 9 San Juan de la Barra, 1600 ft W base line Laguna Bay Calif the necessity of feeding our guide at our own expense for the trip. We are well into the foothill of the Victoria mountain and steep canyon wall rise around us. The canyon slopes are composed mainly of large granite boulders and dark brown soil. Minimum temperature last night was 69°F, max- imum today was 78°. June 10 Same location. Minimum temperature last night was 68°F. Went hunting yesterday afternoon but saw only one Citellus leucurus and one Vta Thalasina. Obtained the squirrel, but was unable to get the Vta. The arroyo is very dry here and game appears to be very scarce. Just above our camp the sandy wash changes to a narrow, steep- walled canyon with vertical rock walls rising vertically on each side of it. This canyon is also bone-dry, the people living here getting their water at quite a distance and from a spring high upon a hill. Shot bats last night and obtained one Pipistrellus hesperus and two Eptesicus fuscus (# 339, 340 + 341). The Pipistrellus bats did not appear until 7:15 and the Eptesicus until 7:30 P.M. Others of the group obtained more Eptesicus and some very dark ones were noticed among those of this species obtained.
