Quest 1946
Pernathus spinatus

May 23 Brena Vista, 25' ft, 23°35'N, 109°41'W, Baja California
One male and one female (#238, 239) caught
in live traps set last night along brush fence
surrounding a vegetable field in an arroyo (wash)
north of camp. About twenty of the fifty traps
were set along the fence, the remainder being set
in the wash proper among the Lumbi, Palo
Verde and Mesquite in likely looking spots. The
brush fence only yielded mice, and only the about
two were caught. One possible explanation for
the low yield is that there was a full moon
last night with no overcast. The female was
lactating but contained no embryos.
June 3 km N San Jose del Cabo, 250' ft, Baja California
Two males and two females caught last night
in live traps set along base of hillside, at
border of sandy wash, 100 yards south of here.
Neither of the females had embryos. Animals caught

Pitaya Dulce, and Prickly pear were growing.
