Weston 1946 Journal 22. July 7 - Cottonwood Spring, elev 3000', Joshua Tree Natl Mon., Riverside Co., Calif. of the bats seen were Eptesicus, beyond a doubt. Bufo punctatus (12 by count) were singing around the spring after dark. We went to bed about 9 p.m. July 8 It might be well to note that I am not writing species accounts for any reptiles and amphibians. Any notes I take on them appear here in my journal. We got up at 5 a.m. I ran my trap line and caught 5 Perognathus and 2 Peromyscus. Back at camp I ate breakfast and skinned my catch. 9:30 a.m. till noon we all separated and went out looking for herps. I had no gun and got no herps. Saw only a few lizards, nothing else. While Wade was out he saw a horned owl. After lunch I wrote some field notes and waited for the day to begin to cool off. Late in the afternoon I went out and set some more traps. I caught one Neotoma in a rat trap before I had gone more than 15 ft. from the trap after setting it. Also saw one Coluber flagellum but was unable to catch it. Back at camp I skinned the Neotoma. The first Pipistrellus was seen flying at 5:47; the sun was still shining
