California June 3, 1942 Arose at 6:30 a.m. & went to get our traps which had been set about a mile west of Roaring River among manzanita & bigelub. Of 20 traps, there were 3 which contained animals. 1 adult male Peromyscus maniculatus under a Manzanita; 1 adult female Peromyscus maniculatus under an Artemisia she contained 5 embryos which averaged about 10 mm. in length; and one immature Peromyscus maniculatus at the edge of a rotten log. This specimen had a broken skull and so was not put up. We packed up & left camp at about 11:00 a.m. Lunched at Home Lake We drove up to Yosemite National Park Headquarters, stopping for lunch at Home Lake Campground. Then we stopped at Park Headquarters long enough to make a few purchases. We then proceeded to Camp Agalea and then stopping there, we went for a walk to the General Grant tree and followed the trail for a mile or so. We came back to camp; had dinner, and sat around the fire writing notes.
