June 7, Out of seven rat traps and five steel
traps set for squirrels in a gulch
running south from Smith Creek Canyon
I caught 1 adult ♂ Meotoma and 1 Imm.

i.e. feces, cut vegetation, urine etc.

June 23 Out of 70 mouse traps set on a rocky
side hill SW of camp I caught five:

were on a shale-like rocky slope with
scattered sage and other brush. I caught

set on the flat.
