Ground Squirrel, seen. Mt. Lion (San Ysidro) June 5, 1925. Packed up late, had trouble with Hope's horse. Packed on down Mt. thru typical brushy belt assoc. -- Grease wood, chemese, cactus (barrel) a little cat's claw, wild "apricot" or plum. Very little bird- life in evidence. Some deer and coyote tracks. After dropping down a long steep barren ridge we came to the creek in a narrow canyon -- San Ysidro stream -- very windy and rather chilly.

He was brown in color and ran low trav- elling very fast. Came close to him but missed. He was evidently hunting along the creek and our noise scared him out. He disappeared over the high brown ridge. Made camp at San Ysidro where one Mexican and his family lives. Warmer tonight. Put up
