Puerto Libertad, Sonora.
April 26, 1938, continued.
The wind was blowing too hard for the skifs
of the fisherman; so we again missed a chance
to see them catch the big ones and wet our
new fish-hooks. Left the village for the rocky
hill close by; made camp:
100 ft. 1 m. n. Puerto Libertad, Sonora.
Set out 50 mousetraps on rocky hill of
copal,
granite among torote, palo verde, ocotillo, some
creosote, saquero, and palo fierro; set out 50
live-traps in gravel-covered yellow soil near
the granite hill among creosote, ocotillo, palo verde,
torote, barablanca, and pitayo.
April 27, 1938.
Caught 1 Perognathus intermedius lithophilus
Huey (o7249 x topotype), and 5 Peromyscus eremicus
(3 juveniles and o7250; f 251) on the rocky hill;
nothing taken in live-traps (Dr. Benson got one
Perognathus baileyi in his live-traps). SeƱor M.
Delgadillo found a mousetrap on his trap-line
that was probably lost here by Huey of the
San Diego Museum of Nat. History when he
was here three years or more ago; this trap
was besides a source of amusement a
good clue that we had trapped at the exact
type locality for the topotype of Huey's
pocketmouse.
