June 11 La Laguna, 6200' ft, Sierra de la Laguna, Baja California
Murray caught one Sorex ornatus lagunae
last night in a Museum special mouse trap
baited with walnut and set in a bank along
side of stream near camp.
Fifty Museum special mouse traps baited with
walnut and set along running water in center
of field caught nothing and no traps were
disturbed. Traps were set in stream bed usually
on damp ground within two feet of the running
water. No appreciable cover was found along
the stream bank, that the existing being formed
by a few large-leaved composite plants.
Shot four Vta thalassina (#343-346 incl) this
afternoon. They were found on large granite boulders
in canyon wall at stream exit at east end of
La Laguna. Most of these lizards were seen in the
rocks at the end of the flat, and none in the
canyon proper. One was seen in isolated granite
boulders in center of eastern portion of La Laguna.
Willows grow in several small patches along the
two streams (springs) in the southern side of the
eastern portion and in the canyon exit in the
east. The canyon exit contains the largest amount
of running water in the area and the stream
flows over small falls and into pools for at
least 300 yds down the canyon. Willows grow
in patches through the canyon at the edge.
