Last evening Dr. Hoyt gave us a map of his
property. The following are our collecting localities
on the Spring Creek Ranch (Hoyt's) and their
equivalent: .4 mi W Big Spring, 3500± ft = 900 ft east,
700 ft north of middle of sect. 8
.2 mi W, .3 mi S Big Spring (3560± ft) = 1000 ft east,
900 ft south of middle of sect. 8
.2 mi W, .6 mi S Big Spring, 3550± ft = 1000 ft east, 2300 ft.
south middle of sect. 8.

Up at 7: A.M. Spent the morning finishing skinning
animals from yesterday. After lunch we returned to
the Hoyt place and picked up our traps. I had 4 gophers -
all females. Later we set traps in the alfalfa field
on the Lombardi Ranch. After a supper in town we
started skinning. I took time to go bat shooting but with
only limited success. Last evening we had a thunderstorm
and today it was overcast most of the day. It
rained for a few minutes between 5 and 6 P.M. Conseq-‘uently it has been cool all day. Probably this was
responsible for the fact that I saw only three bats
between 9:10 and 9:45 P.M. Other evenings when
we shot bats the weather had been warmer.
In fact since last Friday the days have been very
warm (local people say about 10° above normal) and the
evenings mild.
