hader 1958 Catalogue Pg 20 july 14 Burbank to Vallecito Stage Station San Diego & Caly Valleys. In Vallecito Valley the vegetation is ocotillo, barrel cactus, and [illegible] cactus. This is very little grass. In Mason Valley the vegetation is predominantly creosote bush with much more grass. The vegetation of Vallecito is much the same as around Agua Caliente. There was much sign of Pipistrels here in Mason Valley. We set 50mmuseum specials. On our return to Vallecito we stopped where the road reaches the bottom of the grade between the valleys. Here we set 8 schylers for Neotoma among the rocks. By this time it was almost 6 P.M. and the first bats were seen. We drove to Agua Caliente. Al netted Pipistrels over the large pool, I over the small one. In an hours time I had taken about 7 bats; Al about 40. He bands and released all but four. After this we returned to Vallecito for dinner, after which I went to [illegible]. Al caught some Antrozous and Corynorhinos night roosting in the station. Ill put there up later.
