Arrived here about 7 P.M. yesterday after having blown out on International truck 4 mile west of this place. Minimum temperature last night was 58° F. This place is a ranch that has all appearances of being new. The house is a six room stucco structure and is surrounded by fields that are being cleared at present. Two large reservoirs are present 25 feet east of the house. Surrounding the flat area on which the ranch is located are fairly high hills of volcanic rock and granite overgrown with Cien, Cardon, Cholla, Pitiaya agria, Yucca, Staramboulo, etc. Two bats (Pipistrellus hesperus) were obtained by shooting yesterday at dusk. Efforts to net the few bats that visited the reservoir after dark were unsuccessful.
