Weston 1946 Journal 16 July 6-5 mi. W + 3 mi. S Joshua Tree, San Bernardino Co., Calif. caught 4 Dipodomys and 1 Peromyscus. Out of 45 traps Wade caught 3 Dipodomys 8 rodents out of 100 snap traps. Collecting is still very poor. Before I forget to mention it, we are 2+ miles N of the Joshua Tree Natl. Mon. We are not in the Monument at this camp. The country around our camp here is flat with a slight slope to the north. The vegetation consists of scattered Joshua Trees with 2-3 ft Eriogonum and bladder pot brushes pretty well covering the ground. Infrequent cholla cactus bushes also appear about. Before and after breakfast I skinned and made study skins of the material I trapped. Dr. S. and Wade went out and looked for reptiles. I did the same between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. I saw and got nothing. They got several Uta, Sceloporus and as a Cnemidophorus. Last night Dr. S. can't tell what kind of snake, Lampropeltis right at camp in the road. This morning he brought in an Anemospheophilus he shot near here. In his walk he went up to Blackrock Spring. There he saw titmice, Gambel and mt. Quail, a male redwing blackbird. About 11:15 we packed up and left camp for 29 Palms again, planning on making camp
