July 15 8 mi N. Rosario, Baja California
places. It is believed that we are camped
only a few miles east of the ocean.
50 Museum special traps baited with
walnut and set along base of hill and
along face of hill west of camp caught
one Perognathus fallax and two Peromyscus
maniculatus last night. All three of these
specimens were caught in the low bushes
at the base of the hill, the larger portion
of these traps which had been set among
the denser bushes on the hill slope yielding
nothing. 48 Live Traps set in clay soil
along trail through dense, dry and low
brush in wash yielded but one Peromyscus
cremicus (im). Traps set by Tevie in
the more open, gravelly, Agave-covered
west-facing slope on the other side
of the dry wash yielded abundant Peromyscus
cremicus. Murray caught one Dipodomyx
garvyes in addition to the above-men-
tioned species. Several Brush-rabbits
were seen here and Murray obtained one
Rattlesnake. Lizards were very scarce
and only one was obtained, a Cnemidophorus
labialis by Tevie.
On the whole this locality seems an-
attractive from the collecting standpoint,
