Weston 1946 39. Journal July 15 3/4 mi E of Keys View, 5000', Riverside Co., California. We went to bed about 8:30 p.m. During the night Dr. Miller got up and shot an Otus asio. July 16 - Up at 4:45 a.m. I ran my trapline of 60 traps. I caught 3 Dipodomys merriami, 2 ♂ ♂, 2 Peromyscus truei 1♂/♀ and 1 Perognathus longimembris ♀. After breakfast I sat down and skinned my catch, finishing at 9:30 a.m. At 8 a.m. I went out 100 ft from camp and found a Crotalus mitchelli which Dr. M. picked up and brought back to camp. The snake was a ♀ and had a ♀ adult Perognathus longimembris in its stomach. This I catalogued and make into an alcoholic specimen. After finishing my skinning I wrote some field notes. After packing we then got in the cars and headed home. Dr. Stebbins let me off a Glendora, Calif. at about 5 p.m.
