Reservoir 1947 Journal 16. Aug 29 Cammati Creek, 1450', San Luis Obispo Co., California Shot a Pipistrelle & second shot, then tried snapping a towel at them without success. This species flies so low and erratically that they are especially hard to hit. Came back to camp & found 2 gophers caught.

Aug 31. Nothing in steel traps. Drove up the canyon & Dr. Miller to the Bethel brothers place & hunted above their land in the lower fringes of the National Forest. Here the chaparral is much higher & in places quite dense. Bay Auditory grassphleum is common here as a disturbance indicator. Adenostoma forms the dominant chaparral on the tops of ridges and other places where the soil is poor and the slope steep. In somewhat better conditions there is a good growth of manzanita and dense growths of scrub oak. Live oaks, blue oaks and digger pines
