June 18 San Jorge, 5° ft 25°44'N, 112°05'W, Baja California
51° F. Maximum temperature was not taken. But today,
but it has been cool and pleasant with a steady
breeze blowing from the sea.
Set out 48 live traps baited with Bermuda-grass
seed on hill east of camp this evening. Traps were
set among Ocotillo bushes, heavily parasitized with
Ocotillos, Lumboro, and Pitayas agria. There is
abundant mouse-sign in the sand among the
above-mentioned vegetation.
Looked for bats this evening, but none was
seen by the group.
June 19 Location.
The 48 live traps caught 2♂ Dipodomys merriami,
10♂, 8♀ Perognathus arenarius, and one ♀ Perognathus
baileyi; and 50 Museum specials set
in flat north of camp among Mangl. Dulces caught
7♂, 3♀ Perognathus arenarius and six Perognathus
baileyi. Those specimens caught in the Museum
Specials were badly eaten by ants and only the
skulls were saved.
Minimum temperature last night was 63° F,
maximum today was 79°
We are camped by a fisherman's shack on
the east bank of the large estero here. The
estero is about 800 yards wide and appears to
be about ¾ mil in length, and is bordered
by Mangroves in practically all its extent.
