J. Rodgers -1948 168C +58 Itinerary, etc. Madera Co. June 4 Bass Lake, Madera Co., California 29 Red-tailed Hawk 30 Red-breasted Nuthatch 31 Lawrence Goldfinch There are many bullfrogs in this lake. I have heard them in several coves. Have also heard Nyla regilla. I picked up a dead adult skink at the edge of the road in "Cozy Cove" this morning, and saw one run down a cranny under an Arbutus this afternoon. This was in yellow pine, black oak country (some sugar pine). I have also seen Geophagus and Sceloporus here. June 32 Russet-backed Thrush June 5 San Joaquin Experimental Range, Madera Co., California Arrived at the range at 9:30 am. See species note under Cnemidophorus tesselatus and mourning dove. June 8 Bass Lake, Madera Co., California 33 Violet-green Swallow - at "The Falls" June 18 McMurt. Zool. Univ. Calif., Berkeley, Alameda Co., Caly. To-day Sterburn Cook, Jr., came in and told me that two or three weeks ago he was in Mohave Desert, and while there he collected a large desert gopher snake. "It was very large and pale," he said. He brought it home and some time since then it has escaped...He is now living somewhere out in the edge of Berkeley, so it seems likely that the snake will survive!
