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.
