Davis 1940. July 6. General Account. Left Berkeley 9:15 A.M. via Sacramento. Camped outside Weed, at foot of Mt. Shasta. July 7. Proceeded to Klamath Falls. South of Norris, like you to, Calif.; saw my first Sage Thrashers and Brewer Sparrows. Drove to Crater Lake, where I saw my first Cassin Purple Finches. Not many birds present. Fair amount of snow. Went on to Chemult, Klamath Co., thence to Norris Lake, Deschutes Co., 42 mi. S.W. of Bend, Deschutes Co.; altitude, 4390'. We camped in the yellow pines at the south end of the lake, on a point adjacent to a lava flow. The lake is of good size, but rather shallow. Surrounded by yellow and lodgepole pines. The soil is punice, very dry and dusty. Many water fowl here: Canada geese, coot, white pelicans, Western Willets, greater yellowlegs. The mosquitoes were present in huge numbers, and made life miserable. July 8. Collected and skinned. Mosquitoes unbearable through the day. Left early in afternoon. Lily collected 2 cories before we left. We passed through miles of very dry and dusty lodgepole pine country, with little or no under cover, save in the immediate vicinity of occasional small creeks. Made camp in a small meadow (Neil's garden) near Sparks Lake, at base of a lava flow. July 9. Moved camp to a more desirable locality, in the trees bordering a meadow nearer the lake. A creek runs through the meadow and empties into the lake. Trees noted in and in the vicinity of camp included mountain

Davis. 1940. 2), Sparks Lake, Deschutes Co., Oregon. July 7. Lemlock, white pine, lodgepole pine, and red fir. Collected ?'s? Western Tanagers, evening grosbeak, and Steller Jay. Took a boat out on Sparks Lake, which is very shallow at this (north) end, about 5' maximum. Many drednings at southeast part of our end of lake, of which Sibley collected 1. July 10. Drove to Elk Lake for supplies in morning, saw 20 violet-green swallows. Then to Willap plains, at base of lava flows, 5900'. Saw Townsend Solitaire on flowa. Climbed South Sister Mt., from 1: p.m. until 7: p. m., to within 750' feet of summit, which is 10,354'. Hudson- man (time allianis) extends from about 8500 to 8500', Arctic alpine to summit. Plants noted were Centostemon merjesis, Castilleia miniata, Thysoopsis sp., Eriogonum umbellatum, Talyptridium grandel- latum, Phyllodoce breweri, and a dwarf lupinus. Birds noted: Cassin Purple Finch, Oregon Junco, Pine Siskin, and 250' below the summit, in a huge cirque, Rosy Finches (8). The huge snow-fields were encountered, as well as large areas of shifting talus, making the climb rather difficult. Melting snow caused heavy rock slides into the cirque. As several rocks came quite close, we retreated to the rim. Started descent at 7:15 p.m., arriving at truck at about 8:45 p.m. July 11. Cleaned up camp, bathed, etc. Birds noted to date: Barrow Goldeneye, mallard, osprey, Killefer, spot- ted sandpiper, Pacific nighthawk, Allenhummer, American three-toed woodpecker, hairy woodpecker,

Kingfisher, Olive-sided flycatcher, Western wood peewee, violet green swallow, gray jay, Stellar jay, Clark nutcracker, red-shafted flicker, mountain chickadee, red-breasted nuthatch, house wren, robin, mountain bluebird, hermit thrush, hermit, Town- send, and Audubon warblers, red-wing, Western Tanager, red crossbill, evening grosbeak, pine siskin, Oregon juneo, chipping sparrow. In A. m., drove as high as possible on Broken Top Mt. (9165') and spotted several Leucosticta sites in the cliffs bordering a huge cirque. July 12. Collected from 6:30 A. M. - 9:00 A. M. ? mountain bluebird, chipping savannah sparrows, ? Williamson sapsucker, hairy woodpecker, Saw white-crowned sparrow, & Sibley saw or collected Cassin Purple Finch, Trail flycatcher, and golden-crowned Kinglet. Skinned through morning and early afternoon when interrupted by thunder and threatening rain clouds. Some of the birds seem to be in perfect plumage, and others are worn greatly. Sibley shot 2 gray jays which seem to be in very poor plumage. We were told by a fisherman that gray jays were very clever, and would not stay around if they were shot at, and especially if a dead one were hung up. One of Sibley's stayed up in a tree for some time after he shot it, but the jays are still about camp. This A. M. & ? Barrow goldeneye circled low over the creek several times & hit on a dead lodgepole. It allowed

Davis. 1940. Sparks Lake, Deschutes Co., Oregon. July 12. of very close approach before flushing. This P.M. Silly collected a Lincoln sparrow. I collected and skeletonized an immature ♂ Herizoreus. July 13. A.M. collected in willows at north end of Sparks Lake. Birds noted were: Spotted sandpiper, young; ring-billed gull, American batten, Brewer and redwing blackbirds, Intescient warbler, song lnioli, and Savannah sparrows, olive-sided and Traill flycatchers, violet-green swallow, killdeer. Most of the other birds previously noted about camp were also seen. Collected Rana on lake shore, along margins of creeks flowing into lakes. They are not found in the creeks proper, which have a hard gravel bottom affording no shelter, but rather in small blind outpocketings of the creek, which contain sluggish, warmer water. The bottom of these outpocketings is of two types: a) deep silt, easily penetrated by the frogs as they jump in; or b) dense alga, also affording protection. I flushed a littern from the edge of one of these places, where it was evidently hunting frogs. It flew about 70 yds. to a branch 30' up in a live lodgepole pine, & then, when I approached within about 20' of the tree, flew out over the meadows surrounding the lake, & lit some 200 yds. away. Collected a Rana in the grass at edge of Satan Creek where it flows past our camp. Also a Channophis in a hard flat in the willows at north end of Sparks Lake. Evidently feeds on the very young Rana which are plenti- ful in the grass between the clumps of Salix. Dr. P.M.

Dana. 1940. Sparks Lake, Deschutes Co., Oregon. 5). July 13. skinned some birds, & prepared formalin specimens. Sibley & I set out a short trap-line for chickarees and golden-mantled ground squirrels. Saw @ a few lots at dusk. Saturdays and Sundays find Sparks Lake more populous than usual, due to an influx of fishermen from Bend. Weather clear, cool, some wind. July 14. collected 16 DANA aurora aurora, 2 Bufo, 1 Ceromyzus, and 2 hairy Woodpeckers, one of which I gave to Sibley. Set out 22 small traps in the p.m. The car developed engine trouble, the repairing of which took up most of Sibley's time. The DANA were collected between 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. (7), and 3:05 p.m. - 3:35 p.m. (9). All were taken from the creek outpockets mentioned in notes of July 13. The Bufo were collected, one in the creek in front of camp, the other in camp itself. While collecting in the p.m., flushed either a Lincoln or Savannah sparrow from a nest containing 3 eggs. Nest of fine grasses, on ground, at edge of creek flouring into Sparks Lake. Remained 30' from nest for minutes, but bird did not reappear, so I left. Saw spotted sandpiper and 1 young, unable to fly. Also 1 Thamnophis, which escaped into creek & hid under overhanging bank, and I was unable to locate it. Sibley added the following new birds to our Sparks Lake list: Cassin Vireo, Warbling Vireo, Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Hunted lots at dusk (unsuccessfully). July 15. collected 8 Oregon Junco at camp, & feeding from ledge-polestul near lake, 18 DANA aurora from Satan Creek

Davis 1940. Sparks Lake, Deschutes Co., Oregon. 6). July 15. and Sparks Lake, and Tyla in Satan Creek. This creek is clear and cold, fairly swift and narrow with hard gravelly bottom where I collected. The only protection available is the moss growing from the banks over the stream. In many places the moss provides a shelter only 2 or 3" in width. Consequently, the frogs were easier to catch here. The small size of the series caught in the creek leads me to believe that the frogs make their way down stream as juveniles, and grow to adulthood in the creeks directly adjacent to the lake, where they winter in the soft deep silt, conditions seem better nearer the lake, as regards water temperature and food supply. Numerous frogs were seen up in the grass along the creek, as the water was probably too cold for them; and when they dove in at my approach, they were rather sluggish, and in many cases remained sprawled out on the surface, whereas those by the lake remained with few exceptions in the water, and were extremely active in hiding in the silt or algae. Trapline produced 1 thrumgus, too badly eaten by ants to prepare. Sibley shot 1 bat at dusk. Visited nest again, 4 eggs. Identified bird as Savannah sparrow. She did not flush until I was about 10 feet away. Sibley and I saw spotted sandpiper and 2 young, unable to fly. Sibley spotted a nest containing several young of American three-toed woodpecker. About 9' up in the smooth bole of a newly-dead lodgepole. I made 3 trips to nest

Davis, 1940, Sparks Lake, Deschutes Co., Oregon. July 15. to feed young, which squealed incessantly from 5.10 p.m. until 6.00 p.m., during which time nest was under observation. I saw several times in vicinity of nest gathering ants. Sit in lodgepole showed antagonism toward another three-toed woodpecker, species and set unknown. Home to camp. July 16. Broke camp a.m. To Elk Lake for mail. Up 1 mi. S.E., Broken Top dist., 7100', Deschutes Co., Oregon. Broke camp a.m. To Elk Lake for mail. P.M. drove to this locality, where we made camp in a clearing ringed by Tsuga mertensiana. Good-sized mountain stream about 35 yds. from camp, which is diverted below for irrigation purposes. Collected 1 Bufo boreas boreas along this stream, but saw no other amphibians. The stream is really too swift to support extensive amphibian life, although I thought that perhaps Ascaphus trui might be found. Ozel observed for several minutes as it hopped from rock to rock & fluttered about in the water. Oregon juncos and Cassin Violets which only other birds noted here. Much mammal sign, droppings in rocks by creek probably marmot. Many holes at bases of trees and stumps might mean shrews. Set traps, as did Sibby. Took several pictures of the surrounding country. We found whitebark pines near camp. Flowers noted: Phyllodoce breweri, a Ramunculus, Castilleia mi-miata, Erigeron, and the same dwarf lupinus noted at about this height on South Sisters Tower.

Left for Broken Top crater about 9:30 a.m. Hudsonian begins a short way above camp, at about 7200'. Litley shot a Leucostrick at the very beginning of Arctic Al-<strike>pine</strike> (8100'), and another at 8400'. Following this we climbed the eastern rim to a height of 9,000'. Very traccerous thid up a steep slope covered with sharp, shifting pieces of sandstone. We arrived at a sharp razorback, above the main glacier on one side, and above Crook Glacier and a 2500' drop on the other. An unsurpassed view of the terrain was obtained, and the line of peaks - Middle North Sister, Mt. Washington, Three-fingered Jack, Mt. Jefferson, and Mt. Hood - was clearly seen. Pic- tures were taken. Following this, we slipped down into the glacier and skirted the bases of the cliffs of the crater. On this huge snowfield we picked up 6 dead birds, 5 of which constituted remarkable re- cords - 1 young Leuco, 1 spotted towhee, 1 wood pewee, and 3 cliff swallows. Other birds seen in the flesh in- cluded rosy finch, mountain bluebird, Rufous and calliope hummingers, and rock wren. Vegetation much like that of South Sister, plus a large purple+ small yellow Mimulus, and a widespread umbel- lifer with white flowers. On the way home, we saw Cassin Purple Finch (1 taken), Clark nutcracker (2 taken), and Oregon Junco. Many Leucos were seen

The Clark nutcrackers were all tinged with red about the head. They were pecking out the seeds from Pinos albicantis, and became stained with the red juice in the pine cones. July 18. Nothing in traps. Flushed & Townsend Solitaire from nest containing 4 eggs, about 4 1/2 feet off ground in hollow of a broken stump. Nest of fine grasses inside, coarse outside. Skinned Sore in a.m. & p.m. Bathed, laundered, etc. Tomorrow we go to Bend to stock up on supplies, etc., & then to the Blue Mts. via Prineville, Ochoco Nat'l Forest, and Baker. July 19. Sibley skinned a gopher which I caught the previous night as it ran near our fire. We then broke camp, & started for Bend. Ran out of gas about 3/4 mi. from camp, due to leaking fuel pump. I set out for Todd Lake (5mi.) & met some fishermen, the wife of whom drove all the way to Elk Lake & brought me gallons of gas. Sat under tree by main road in heavy thunderstorm for half an hour, when as man's wife gave me a lift all the way back to the truck. Also gave me food & tobacco. Reached truck about 3:30. Put in gas, & drove to Bend, reaching there about 6:15 p.m. Country very

Last part of trip through completely logged out country, with an Arctostaphylos succession, & scattered yellow pines. Bend is a good sized, rather nice town. Repairs to car. Supper. Shopping. Drove 9 mi. out of town & slept on ground. July 20. early next morning returned to Bend, ate, and shopped. Met Dr. Tigh of U.C. Dept. of Zool. in hardware store where I had gone to get new butt-plate for shotgun. He is collecting Copepods, but was buying a fishing rod when I met him. The "bug" finally got him! Left Bend 11:30 a. m. ate lunch in Redmond. Country very dry - Juniperus and Artemisia tridentata. Few birds. Passed through Prineville, a very shabby town. 1 mi. e. Ochoco Range Sta., 4500'; Ochoco Nat. For., Crook & Jefferson Co., Oregon. Stopped to look for birds. Observed σ + ♀ wood-peckers on yellow pine tree for some time. Sibley shot the ♀ and it turned out to be our first Picoides arcticus, an unusual record, as this bird, obtained in typical Transition, is restricted to lodgepole (canadian) [sic] Gabrielson & Dewett, 1940). Started to rain just after Sibley shot the wood-pecker. We played tag with this very heavy storm all the way through Mitchell. Saw several people

This country all the way to Mitchell is greatly gulled & eroded. True cloudburst country. Mitchell a very poor sort of town. Drove on through Prairie City, and into the Whitman Nat'l Forest, where we camped for the night. On the way, saw Tyrannus tyrannus (2), and Sibley saw Columbian Sharp-tailed Grasse. We camped in transition (Lirne ponderosa, Tarif occidentalis ). July 21. Whitman Nat. For., Wheeler Co., - Baker, Baker Co., - Grande Ronde lake, Whitman Nat. For., 7100', Union Co., Oregon.

Harbor numerous [illegible] Sibley gave pygmy owl calls & brought down about 50 birds, of the following species: - redbreasted woodpecker, chipping sparrow, Lincoln sparrow, ruby-crow- ned kinglet, Audubon warbler, hermit thrush. We also saw a chipping sparrow feed young in the grass at base of a tree. Drove back to ranger station at Anthony Lake, obtained permission to camp and shoot at Grande Ronde Lake, nor- mally closed to shooters as it is in a recre- cation area. Talked for some time with the guard - named Kroger, from Washington State. Knows plants & trees fairly well, and something about birds, although he told us he had seen rory fuchers down here by the lake. Probably meant fine groo teaks. Re- turned & made camp at edge of meadow at south end of lake. Mostly lodgepole, but also Abies magnifica, Perix occidentalis, Abies conicarpa, and Picca engelmannii. July 22. Hunted before breakfast. Immature Oregon juncos and Lincoln sparrow, adult chipping sparrow and mountain chicka- dee were obtained. Skinned & m. Sibley and I hiked along the ridge above the lake after lunch.

The trees were alive with them. 95% were immature Oregon juncos and Chipping Sparrows. Several Robins came down, and I collected a Bendire Crossbill from the top of a lodgepole. From the top of the ridge, we could see Gunsight Mtn. to the south, and the Lakes took out, Black Butte, and Chicken Hill to the north. Numerous pictures were taken. We could see no Arctic willow anywhere, as the tree line extends to the tops of these mts. Set traps and collected two Bufo after supper. We were visited by Kroger from Anthony Lakes R.S., and another Ranger, Ralph (last name forgotten). Both of them assured us that elk were plentiful in these parts, 2,000 cows having been shot in 1938, and 500 in 1939. At so-called

Grande Ronde Lake, 7100', Union Co., Oregon. July 23. which makes me believe the season is earlier here than at Sparks Lake- at least this year. We were told at the ranger station that things are [illegible] earlier this year, and that there was no snow on June 10, whereas last year there were deep drifts on June 18. The water in the lake and in the small trickles flowing across the lake shore meadow (South end) is quite warm, and this probably accounts for the early season. The lake is rimmed by thick growths of some tule- probably Typha sp., and in some places by water-lilies. The bottom of lake and trickles is of dark mud, and the color of the frogs is excellent protection. They are extremely wary- most of them live on shore, and dive into the water at once, no matter how cautiously they are approached. In the trickles, they go under the toe banks, or into the mud. Along the lake, they go some distance from shore (5 to 10 feet), and if pursued more ardently, disappear into the mud, at [illegible] amazing rapidity. The only way I could catch them was in the trickles, by marking the spot where they disappeared, and then plunging my hand into the mud, which is only about 3" deep, and catching them by the hind legs. The Hyla was

J. Davis, 1940. (157) July 23. Grande Ronde Lake, 7/100', Union Co., Oregon. Obtained on the lake shore at the south end. Caught and skinned one Shenorompys. Cleaned camp and bathed a.m. Went to Lakes Ranger Sta. after lunch, where Sibley talked over the phone to Laverne Brugger (sp.), ranger at Harist. Mt. in the southern Wallowa Mts. Brugger is a student at Wash. State College, & has collected birds & mammals, mostly the latter. He said that the season was well advanced in his area, that the young birds were off the nest. Situa- tion probably about the same as here. This country is rather hard to work, as there are few roads. We were told that a new road had been put through Fish and Duck Lakes, and beyond. There is good high country in the Wallowas, but it is quite hard to get into. Following this conversation, we went to North Powder to get mail. This is absolutely the most dismal town I ever have been in. I got a haircut from the local "barber" and wish to warn all collectors in this region to stay away from this scalp slaughter-house. Returned late in p.m., and set out traps. Sibley caught a Shenoro- myx in one of his traps, which was sprung as we were sitting at the fire writing notes. July 24. Hunted 6:15 a.m.-1:15 p.m. Obtained 2 flickers, 1 each of Oregon junco, q.-c. Ringlet, Snooks Sparrow, & Townsend Warbler. This is a fair indication of what sort of collecting one may expect in this region at this time of year. Collected 16 Lava Pretiosa in late p.m. This morning I flushed a ?Oregon

k. Davis 1940. July 28. Grande Ronde Lake, 7100', Union Co., Oregon. Juiced from a nest containing three very young birds. They were a dark reddish orange color, and the only feather tract visible as they lay in the nest was the mid- dorsal, which had just broken through. The nest was on the ground, composed of fine grasses, at the base of a 3' high lodgepole sapling. In the p. m., about 1 p. m., heard several birds emitting harsh, short, rasping calls, and found that they were young juncos, situated in the grass. Found some young frogs in the shallow boggy pool at the s.e. end of the lake, where the water is quite warm. In all other localities about the lake shore, the frogs are all adults. Many of the trickles are drying up in the mea- dow about the lake, & the frogs follow the water right down to the lake. They are never away from it. Like Rana boylii, they their life cycle is entirely dependent on the presence of H2O. Even in soggy places which have only recently become devoid of standing or running water, they are absent. Weather today was very cold, warming up a little after sundown. Cloudy with intermittent sunshine. Moderate wind. July 29-30. 3 1/2 mi. e. and 6 mi. n. Yacolt, 500'; Clark Co., Wash.

The prolonged rains in this region has made the undercover extremely wet. About 150' below camp, at the bottom of a steep canyon to the west, north, is a good-sized swift-flowing stream, with precipitous rocky shores. The weather today has been better. The sky has always been cloudy, but the sun broke through for fairly long periods, & it has rained only three times, short light showers. This wet weather is most unusual, according to nearly everyone. Birds seen: - Hairy Woodpecker, Red-bafted Flicker, Steller Jay, Trail Flycatcher, Winter Wren, Spotted Towhee, Polycrowned Kinglet, Water Oryel, Russet-backed Thrush, Oregon Junco, Western Palm. Mammals are very scarce, Ceromyscus being plentiful, but other species rather hard to find. They include: - [illegible], Sciurus douglasii, Eutamias townsendii, Scajarnus townsendii, Sorex rowbridgeii, Oeromyscus maniculatus rubidus, Amphibia & reptiles: - Thamnophis s.f. (abundant), Rana aurora aurora, Tyla regilla, Bufo boreas. Found a nest, probably of russet-backed thrush, in alders. Large, compact, of moss, containing two young. Much of the vegetation in the wooded areas is older, and in the burned areas, a large Clarkia. July 31. Nothing in traps. Collected willow goldfinch.

There are literally hundreds of openings between the road and fences set back from the road about 40', and in most places, the system of tunnels extended well beyond the fences. In some places, especially about stumps, the holes are clustered, and radiate in all directions. Many of the burrows contained cut ferns, some green, some dry. Mr. Sanders, farmer, told us that they gathered green material, left it in the burrow entrance until dry, & then stored it in large granites' underground. He said that he had uncovered such a "store" about a bushel "in quantity," and that he had also uncovered a very large deposit of excreta, which suggested to him that these animals defecated in a special place. He added that he had seen them often, even walking right up the middle of the road. Seemed to know what he was talking about, as other of his information jibed with the facts. Three beaver were caught shortly after the trap lines (2 of 17 traps) were set. Birds seen around camp: - winter wren, Steller jay, red-shafted flicker, band-tailed pigeon, western robin, russet-backed thrush, red-breasted nuthatch, Trail flycatcher, spotted towhee, willow gold-finch, hairy woodpecker, red-tailed hawk.

Purple martins and 1 band-tailed pigeon were also noted. I set traps along a stream, in places only 10-3' wide, and in other places forming fairly sizable pools. Although numerous excellent habitats for frogs were provided, no amphibians of any kind were seen, save for 1 toad. Russell and Chittin also saw no frogs at all. Birds noted around camp today: - robin, pygmy owl (Russell shot 1), crow, Steller jay, Trail flycatcher.

Got a house wren, spotted towhee, and trail flycatcher in an extensive logged-out area below camp. The trail was calling from the top of an alder in the middle of a bracken jungle. These ferns at times reached my neck, and I was covered with spores. Progress was very slow. At the west border of this jungle were some aban- donered outbuildings of an old sawmill, which contained no life or signs. Investigated several creeks and springs while setting traps; I found no amphibians of any kind. The wet weather may have sent them into the woods, al- though I have seen none there either.

A swale of sedge cuts across the meadow, and 1 trap line was placed along it. The other went out into the meadow proper. Sibley saw one Microtus in the glass, and said that it seemed smaller than the Microtus townsendi we have been catching. The holes also seem smaller than those of townsendi. We ran 2 other lines across the road. Mine ran along the edge of a dense thicket of Rubus sp. laciniatus, and un- der fallen logs. Russell & Chatti collected 3 conies at Shot bats after supper, and collected 1 Myotis evotis. Aug. 5. Ran trap line. 2 young + 1 adult Geomyscus, and 1 Sorex hoybridgii which I gave to Sibley.

Weather very hot. General impres- sion of this area: Amphibia and reptiles - Garden suckles are numerous, Gerrhonotus occasional, Caneura very scarce, a few Rana canora + Bufo torres, salamanders, more. Mammals - chipmunks common, Aplodontia common in restricted areas, Microtus, uncommon. Neotoma probably common in abandoned cabins, which are hard to find.

Backeds left 10:30 a.m. via Longview & Columbia River Highway to Chinook. Contacted Mr. Tugrow, who gave us permission to stay in an abandoned house on his land. The house is surrounded by dense thickets of Himalaya blackberry, beyond which is long grass, and beyond the grass, Sitka spruce (the dominant tree), red alder, Crsema sp., and Douglas fir. To the southwest a few hundred yards lies the main highway and the Columbia River. Set a few traps in the grass and in the elder & rose thickets, and caught 1 Jaffree and 1 Sorex vagrans. Aug. 7.

Most of the Sorex vagrans caught so far have been heavily infected with a large gray Ornithodoros tick, as many as 4 adults and 8 seed ticks having been found on the head of one throv. Neither Sorex obseurus or Sorex Howbridgii have been so infected. Aug. 10.

Heavy undercow, of broken, sal-lal, Rubus laciniatus, and Symphori- carpus. The Rubus in some places is impenetrable, and the ferns are very dense. Just imback of camp there is a logging road, down which heavy logs are being dragged by tractor. South of camp is a large boggy area, overgrown with camas and Carex, and shaded by spruces. Water comes from a spring, which overflows into this area. Caught one Hyla. An old woodcutter living in a shack a few hundred yards north of us gave us a pair of Spiroglale which he crafted in mountain beaver sets. The area about camp, to the south and east, is mostly farming, with bent grass the chief crop. The tide, flooding up the Lewis and Clark River to the east affects all the fields, which are crossed by tide sloughs. Aug. 17. Challin and I set traps in a grassy area about 300 yards east of camp. Dense growth of Xerophyllum and Carex, with occasional clumps of Rubus laci- niatus and Alnus rubra. Runnows were found beneath nearly every clump of Carex, and traps were set in these and surface traps were set in runs at the bases of X- Xerophyllum. In p. m., hunted Triturus in a pond about 200 yds. s. w. of camp. Pond about 60' x 20', knee-

The surrounding vegetation is almus, cascara, tulus la- ciniatus, little spruce, and at the north end, a large patch of Xerophyllum. The Triturus are slug- glish, but rather wary, and if frightened, swim slowly to the bottom and burrow into the mud, staying down for lengthy periods. The pondwater is very murky, & the dark brown dorsal coloration is excellent protection. Numerous larvae are present, with large branching external gills. They are very wary and fast swim- mers. The species is probably similins. Some Para- saura aurora are present in the Xerophyllum. Cought two garter snakes, one resembling T. sitalis, the other T. ordinoides. Aug. 18. Can traps & skinned a.m. 3 Sorex, 2 microtus, and 1 zapus. In p.m., Chaitin and I caught Triturus and Pana, and set additional traps in the grassy area, & a new line in the woods about a spring to the south of camp, and along a creek and in some bent grass fields south of the spring. Found microtus in first trap line, and Chaitin found & gave me a cedar warwing shot by the son of a nearby rancher. Shot one Mystic after supper. Aug. 19. Can traps and skinned a.m. t p.m. 4 Sorex, 2 mi- crotus, 1 Berrumpscus. Took 1 microtus + 1 Neuro- tricus out of traps in grassy area in p.m. Shot a Mystic after supper, Chaitin shot one Mysterio.

Picked up line in deep grass north of camp, and moved them to a creek south of camp. Creek bordered by Xerophyllum_, Carex_, and Alnus rubra_. Set most of the traps in underground runs. Also picked up all traps set south of camp in woods about spring, and along creek flowing into these woods. Aug. 23. Change in traplines reflected in day's catch - 4 Microtus_, a Zapus and a Peromyscus as well as the usual complement of Sorex_. Shot one Entomias townsendi_. Set more traps in the Xero-phyllum_ and Carex_ away from the creek. Now have a line of about 70 traps. Aug. 24. Traded Russell a Neurotichus for an Entomias_.

Cleared the pond of snags, then muddied the water up, seined a short ways into the mud and at every passage came up with 4 or 5 animals - mostly larvae. Total catch-36 Adult Triturus simulus, 14 large larvae of Amblystoma peristictum, + several hundred larvae of both kinds. The Amblystoma larvae were of 2 sizes, one large and nearly adult, the other rather small. Some in time of the Triturus larvae. Sizer thinks that, in Triturus trogs at least, development takes 2 seasons, basing his argument on the two types of larvae so often obtained. Aug. 25.

Davis. 1940. Austin Cr., 80', 1 mi. s. Lagadera, Sonoma Co., Calif. Oct. 12. About 4:45 p.m. - 5:45 p.m. We secured about a dozen Rana b. boylii, every one of which was affected with "red-leg." Saw at least a hundred small frogs of this year's hatch. Collected one large and several medium-sized individuals, and a few small ones. They were all quite active, and up on the rocks about one jump from H2O. While on shore, their gray, almost silvery color was quite protective, but in the water they stood out sharply from the darker rock and gravel bottom. Upon being startled, they dove head-long into the water, and rushed their way beneath a rock, into the silt, or under any snag or solid object. In most cases they left their hind legs projecting, and it was an easy matter to spot these appendages and secure the animals. As long as the head was concealed, the animals remained motionless and the hand could be brought slowly over the legs without any movement on the part of the animal. In many cases, however, the frogs, once startled from the shore, would not stop moving until they had gone well out of reach. In stretches of silt bottom they tended to disappear into the silt, where they invariably escaped. Austin Cr. is low at this time of year; the average highwater streambed is 50'-100' wide, and the stream at maximum,

Davis 1940. Austin tr., 80', 1 mi. s. Cazadero, Sonoma co., Calif. Oct. 12. at this time was 25' in some places being only about 6' wide. Average depth is about 1 ft., some places being only 4" deep, other deep holes going over 6'. The exposed streambed consists of sandy, gravelly, and rocky bars supporting scrub willows. Snags of drift in these willows indicate a spring depth of about 4' for the stream. The current at the low stage is very slow, and in wider runs, there is little water movement. In narrower places, where the current moves faster, small rocks have gathered and riffles formed. Frogs were often found in such places. The frogs were all active, and gave no impres- sion of slowing up due to the late season. It is worthy of note that two pairs of copulating Triturus si-milans were seen in this same creek, indica-ting that the breeding seasons of all these amphi-bians might be longer than is now assumed. Laboratory inspection of the frogs showed enlar-ged testes in all the ?'s, and egg masses in the ?.'s. These masses covered 1/3-1/2 the length of the body, were coal black, and distinctly lobed, there being usually 5-7 such lobes. The distal portion of the oviduct was empty, but prominent. The ?'s had testes up to 6 mm. in length, and the nuptial excres- cence on the first digit was well developed. This

Davis. 1940 & 1941. Austin Tr., 80' / mi., s. Tajadero, Sonoma Co., Calif. Oct. 12. would indicate a breeding season from November to May, instead of April-May (Storer, 1925). These fall and winter eggs would probably be inviable, however, as the drift currents after the fall rains would probably wash them away.

Feb. 9, 1941. Went out with David Mcbold, Frank Watson, Robert Storer, and Charles Dibley. Object of trip was merely to see as many different species of birds as possible in one day. Left Berkeley at 8 a.m., returned at 8:30 p.m. Day was overcast, cold and rainy, with a stiff wind, from about 5 p.m. on. Total number of species seen was 108, as follows: 1). Common loon. 2).

Sains. 940. 1). Dec, 20. Judlow, 1712; San Bernardino Co., Calif. Arrived here 11:00 am. Truck broke, and repairs to take at least one day. This town is 30 mi. east of Barstow on U.S. 66. The desert starts from the immediate outskirts of the town. Sand and gravel with Larrea divaricata Fraseria dumosa and grasses are the dominant plants. One brush of Ephedra diplocate noted. Encelia frute common, interspersed between the creosote brush. There is a wide area of this type of coun- try stretching northeast to a jagged range of mountains (Bristol Mtns?) with their broad alluvial fans. There was a fair amount of sign about 250 yds. from the highway. Mostly Perognathus and Dipodomys. Very often clusters of holes were noticed at the base of the creosote brushes. Well-marked runways connected many of the holes, as far apart as 75'. The recent rains here have caused a packing of the soil with the result that runways, tracks, tail marks, and burrows are well marked and have not been obliterated by shifting sand. The temperature is fairly high during the middle of the day and most of the afternoon, and starts to cool off about 4:00. The sun set at about 5:30. Dec, 21. Caught 10 Dipodomys meriamii out of a total of 102 traps. They were caught in sets at the base of

Ludlow, 1712', San Bernardino Co., Calif. Dec. 21. Creosote bushes. Car was repaired at noon, and we proceeded to a point 25 mi. s. of Needles, +75', San Bernardino Co., Calif. Dec. 21. Made camp at the base of a small chain of low rocky hills, skirted by several dry washes. Plants noted: - Creosote bush, Frangaria dumosa, Eriogonum inflatum, [illegible] dapper, Yucca schidigera, barrel cactus, deerhorn cactus, a species of cholla (Opuntia sp.), beavertail cactus, and Encelia sp. Lots of sign but most of it old. Woodrat and rabbit drop- pings were noted. A few ground squirrel holes seen, but they were old. Ran a trap line up a dry wash and up on the side of a rocky hill with numerous stands of ocotillo (Fourqueria splendens). Set some traps at the bases of ocotillo bushes, as each bush had burrows beneath it. No birds seen, but a few lizards. The weather here is much warmer than at Lud- low. Clear no wind all day. Ran a few traps at 8:00 p. m. and found 1 Dipodomys deserti; Dec. 22. Sibley, Chaitin and I tore apart woodrat nests in a.m., securing 6 animals. All the nests were at the bases of cholla, and were covered by the falling joints of the cacti. They offered extremely good pro- tection. Nearly every nest contained large stores of

The rats, upon being started, never went far from the nest and were easily caught. One attempted to go down a hole adjacent to the nest, but we had already plugged this up. Skinned at m. and left in early p.m. Proceeded to Blythe, then proceeded to a point: 4 mi. S. Palo Verde, 275'; Imperial Co., Calif. Dec. 22. Creosote-franciscana dumosa association, but very little cactus. Set traps in a wash with creosote bush, franciscana, palo verde, and desert ironwood (Olneya tesota). Much sign, but it seemed old. Some mesquite (Prosopis chilensis) noted. Weather here clear and very much warmer than at last camp. Birds were heard after dark. Dec. 23. Caught 5 Dipodomys deserti. On a small ford near camp noted coot, shoveller, pintail, canvasback. On the shore were vermillion flycatcher, Audubon warbler, verdin, phainopepla. Drove south to a point: 7 mi. N. E. Fort Yuma, 200'; Imperial Co., Calif. Dec. 23. Made camp in a thicket of honey mesquite (Prosopis chilensis). E. & W. of camp a few

7 mi. n. e. Fort Yuma, 200', Imperial Co., Calif. Dec. 23. Hundred yards in an irrigation ditch bordered by arrowweed (Pluchea sericea) and introduced cane and Bermuda grass. It is in the cane-Bermuda grass asso- ciation that Sigmodon hispidus is found. Much of this vegetation has been cleared or burned, and upon our arrival we met a crew engaged in clearing the irrigation ditch banks. A species of Baccharis is quite common here, as is Fremont cottonwood (To- pulus fremontii), screwbean mesquite (Prosopis alubescens) also noted. Traps were set in some cane and arrowweed. Skinned after dark. Dec. 24. Combined trap lines produced 7 Sigmodon, 2 Peromyscus, several house mice, Reithrodonto- mys megalotis, and 2 Perognathus penicillatus. Skinned a. m. Drove rained very heavily during morning and early p. m. Cleared and we drove to Yuma. On our return contacted George Berry, who lives 1 mi. from Bard. On our arrival at camp Dec. 23 we noticed 2 dead gophers, and were told by the bamboo- cutters that they were trapped by Berry. He seems rather intelligent, lets out 50-80 traps day and catches 15-30 gophers daily. Also sets muskrats. Told us the gophers caused

in Davis, 940. 5). Dec. 24. Breaks in the irrigation ditches; his job is to trap them out (he works for U.S. Gov't.). Early evening showed clearing sky with strong wind. Later clouds disappeared, sky clear, no wind. Weather cool. Ran short line of rod traps set by Sibley and Chattin in some cut bamboo along the ditch. They caught 3 Signodor, Sibley cought 2 in one trap. Birds noted in or near camp today: American Egret, Red-tailed Hawk, Verdin, Cactus Wren, Gila Woodpecker, Red-shafted Flicker, Phainopepla, Albert Towhee, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Western Quetzalcoot, Gambel Quail, Brewer Blackbird, California Shrike, Western Meadowlarks, Western Mocking- bird, Horned Owl, Mourning Dove, Roadrunner, Marsh Hawk, Juniper. Dec. 25. Skinned a.m. Went to mine shaft 3 miles north of Potholes and hunted bats. The three of us obtained about 75 Macrotus californicus out of a population of several thousand. Set trap line in a mesquite-ironwood wash 2 mi. n.w.e. of Potholes. Skinned after dark. Dec. 26). Picked up trap line NNE Potholes. Set new line of traps on a jagged boulder strewn hill near to Tagma Dam. Vegetation sparse, Returned.

The grass was full of Sigmodon runways. Libby obtained 30+ gophers (T. bottae albatae) from George Berry of Bard. Skinned after dark. Dec. 27. Picked up line near Laguna Dam. I lost 3 traps and Libby lost 2. Others were sprung and dragged. Evidently a carnivore, probably a kit fox, ran on lines. Ditch line produced Sigmodon, Mice, & Reithrodontmys. Skinned a.m. In early p.m. went to the rock covered flats on other side of All-American Canal and set traps in rock-strew washes. Vegetation sparse. Ocotillo & creosote bush. Wood rat sign seen. In one wash numerous fresh burrows, probably of Dipodomys and Perognathus. These were in the sandy floor of the wash. Sign was only fair on the rock covered banks. Returned to camp & ran ditch line. More Sig-modon, etc. drove to Bard & obtained 30+ gophers from Berry. Skinned p.m. Dec. 28. Ran trap line in wash north of Potholes. Several Peromyscus (cinitus?) and 1 Dipodomys merriami. Picked up line. Picked up ditch line near camp. No Sigmodon. Several Mice and Reithrodont-mys. Skinned a.m. Picked up Berry's gopher

Dec. 29. Trapper brought in 4 muskrats. Skinned a.m. Heavy rain all day; stopped about 8:00 p.m. High wind. Dec. 30. Weather clearing, no rain. Hunted birds a.m. shot 1 Lined Thrasher. Broke camp. Sibley and I walked to the trapper's & obtained 4 muskrat and 1 Fox. Trapper's name is Ike Redford. Drove to Yuma, then to Fortuna Mine, 14 mi. out of Yuma on Route 80 and about 10 miles south of the highway. Drove on and made camp at a locality: 10 mi. SE Fortuna Mine, Yuma Co., Ariz. Set out about 35 traps between the three of us. Light intermittent showers during night. Dec. 31. Broke camp, drove 6 mi. SE. Road passable since recent heavy rains had packed the sand fairly hard. Had to repair road over numerous washes. This road goes to Tinajas Altas. Made camp at a point: 16 mi. SE Fortuna Mine, 300', Yuma Co., Ariz. Gila Mts. about 1 1/2 mi. N., Butler Mts. about 1 1/4 mi. S. Camp. We are on a flat sandy plain broken by numerous washes, all running

ludavis. 1940-1941. Dec.31. 16 mi. SE Fortuna Mine, 300', Yuma Co., Ariz. into a main wash paralleling the base of the Butler Mts. to the S. W. Creosote bush and Franseria dumosa predominant, with palo verde and desert ironwood in the washes, and scattered saguaro and cholla (two kinds). The mts. are of weathered granite, very crumbly. Set traps to the NW of camp in the recently flooded washes and on the sandy plain. Jan.1. Ran traps and skinned a.m. 2 Dipodomys ervianus and 1 D. deserti. Cicked up line Set in low lying granite hummocks and in the rocks at the bases of the Butler Mts., set out a few rat traps in the hummocks for Willets (Amosfermofhildus), whose presence was noted due to deposits of droppings. Weather cloudy most of the day, clearing about 4 p.m. Jan.2. Ran traps. 6 Peromyscus maniculatus, 1 Neotoma, 5 D. ervianus. Skinned a.m. Moved some traps and set others in P.M. Skinned some more after supper. Found 1 Peromyscus maniculatus in traps in P. m. Evidently these mice work some in the daytime. In a.m. Sibley & I saw tracks of mountain sheep in a dry wash near camp, evidently a few of the sheep in transit from the Butlers to the Gildas. Sibley had previously

the Davis' 1941. Jan.2. 16 mi. SE Fortuna mine, 300'; Yuma to, Ariz. Found 2 deposits of sheep droppings, one fairly fresh in the Gilas, and 1 older one in the Butlers Jan.3. Pan traps and broke camp a.m. Went back to Fortuna mine. Went down a vertical mine-shaft owned by Joe Graham. Sibley, Chatten and I obtained 21 Macrotus californicus from a horizontal drift 45' below the surface. Proceeded to Yuma and then to the customs house at San Luis, on the Mexican border. Talked to customs officials there (Crove and Jensen). Camped on a creosote bush mesa behind the customs house. Jan. 4). Talked with a trapper named Stanley who was recommended to us by Jensen. Stanley has trapped for the U.S. Reclamation Service for 22 years. Traps gophers and muskrats from the drainage canals. Caught 4,000 muskrats last year. These are a great problem here, but not at Bark in the area Perry worked. Stanley told us that in a high school gopher-trapping contest in this area last year, 37,000 gophers were caught. Contest winner caught 800+. Spent rest of day looking for a camp site and settled at a point: 4 mi. SE Goldsen, 120'; Yuma to., Ariz. Set traps in sand dunes and in dense mesquite thickets NW of camp. Woodchoppers

Jan. 4. 4 mi. SE Gadsden, 120', Yuma Co., Ariz. Had cut a great deal in this thicket and the ground was strewn with broken branches. The terrain was excellent for wood rat nests, and the sign was abundant. Set rat traps at 5 nests. Skim- mmed p.m. Jan. 5. Van traps. 3 Neotoma, 1 Dipodomys deserti, 3 Perognathus penicillatus, 1 Onychomys torridus, and 11 Peromyscus maniculatus. Skinned 2 a.m. Reset trap lines p.m. On one time where I was resetting traps, heard a scraping noise in the sand, and saw a Utillus tetricandrus with one of my mouse traps over his head, rolling in the sand. Secured the specimen. Sibley came up later and called up a pair of horned owls with- in easy seeing distance. Skinned p.m. Jan. 6. Van traps a.m. 8 Peromyscus, 9 Perognathus, 2 Dipodomys deserti, 2 Neotoma alligula, 1 Onychomys torridus. 1 Neotoma was torn up and the abdomen eaten. An 1 Perognathus was bodily torn up about the head. Perognathus and Dipodomys are confined to the sand dunes, Neotoma to the mesquite thickets, and Peromyscus is everywhere. Only a few Peromyscus were caught on the dunes today, I were outnumbered there by Perognathus. Vice versa yesterday. Evidently I trapped off most of the Peromyscus from the dunes yesterday. Went to Yuma in p.m. Skinned after supper.

Jan. 7. 4 mi. S. Gadsden, 120', Yuma Co., Ariz. Pan traps and skinned a.m. P.M. set line of 24 rat traps for neotoma. There are numerous nests all through the mesquite thickets. All nests seen were on the ground; none in trees. Skinned P.M. Jan. 8. Rat traps yielded 1 serognathus, 2 beromyines, + 5 neotoma alligula. Only 2 of the latter were saveable, the others having broken skulls. These rats are so large that even large rat traps are Too small for the striker to miss the skull. One of the broken-skulled rats weighed 320 grams. Crums were used instead of the usual walnut bait, and seemed about as effective. Skinned a.m. In P.M. set about 45 mouse and 6 rat traps in the mesa for dipodomys. The sign was very poor. There were numerous burrows, but only about 5 or 6 showed fresh sign. Jan. 9. Pan traps a.m. 5 dipos deserti and only 1 Q. meriamii This is the first locality we trapped where deserti outnumbered meriamii. Total catch was 12 deserti and 5 meriamii. Skinned a.m. and part of P.M. Spent rest of day breaking camp for early start tomorrow. Jan. 10. Broke camp. Drove to Yuma. Then to Antevae Canyon (State Highway 78, turn off 22 mi. NW Brawley). Very lush desert. Much Yuera and Cholla. Grass and moss over extensive areas. Roads covered

NW Borrego P.O., 700', San Diego Co., Calif. Set out short line of traps after dark. Sign hard to see due to recent rains. Typical creosote bush - Fraxinea dumosa desert. Hard kit foxes at night. Jan. 11. Pan traps. 5 Dipso meriamii. Set traps in the rocks S. of camp at the base of the San Ysidro mts. Poor sign. Two wood rat nests. Typical Eucalia - rocky hills association. Scattered ocotillo and creosote brushes. The San Ysidro mts. are to the west of camp, the Santa Rosas to the north, and the Vallecitos to the south. Jan. 12. Pan traps. 2 Peromyscus, 1 Perognathus. In P.M. set traps in mesquite 1/2 mi. NW Borrego P.O. Night of Jan. 11. saw Calvert, supervisor of Borrego Desert State Park, a short distance W. of camp. He is very intelligent, very cooperative and knows the country thoroughly. Jan. 13. Pan traps in mesquite. 2 Peromyscus, 1 Perognathus, 7 Dipso meriamii. Skinned A.M. Set more traps in mesquite and creosote flats about mesquite in P.M. Jan. 14. Pan traps A.M. 9 Dipso meriamii, 4 Perognathus penicillatus, 1 Peromyscus maniculatus. Skinned A.M. and part of P.M.

General Account. Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. - Fallon, Churchill Co., Nevada. May 9, 1941. Left Berkeley about 9 a.m. Drove to Sacramento, then over the Donner Pass via Auburn, Norden, etc. Con- tinued on to Fallon, Churchill Co., Nevada. A few miles West of Fallon, stopped at some ponds by the road, and in the middle of this dry land we noted numerous aquatic birds - eared grebes in breeding plumage, gadwall, pintail, cinnamon Teal, baldpate, redhead, snoret, silt, and others. Went on to Fallon, and looked up Ray Alcon, May 10. Spent the night at his ranch. Next morning he took Sibley and I to Big Soda Lake, 6 mi. N.W. of Fallon. I took a Wilson Phalarope, and Alcon shot a sandpiper, the first record of this species for the state. We left Fallon, and drove east on U.S. 50. Made camp in the pinion - juniper belt about 35 mi. N.E. of Ely, Nevada. May 11. Drove across the Great Salt Lake Desert to Salt Lake City, Utah, arriving there about noon. Proceeded from Salt Lake through Wyoming to Medicine Bow, where we made camp by a sizeable lake S.W. of town. Sibley and I set out 20 traps between us. May 12. 1 mi. S.W. Medicine Bow, 6600', Belany Co., Wyoming. Noon traps. 6 Peromyscus. Sibley took several birds and a ground squirrel. Sage thrashers and clay-colored Sparrows were numerous.

Davis 1941. May 12. 1 mi. SW Medicine Bow, 6600', Albany Co., Wyoming. Noted on the lake were numerous water birds. Went from Medicine Bow to Cheyenne Pass, where we stopped. This is high country, over 8000', in the Pinus murrayana - Pinus flexilis belt. We took a few birds, and proceeded to Cheyenne. About 15 mi. out of Cheyenne saw our first lark hunting, and from thereon they were noted frequently. Noted one mountain flower in a roadside field east of Cheyenne. Proceeded to a point 1 mi. E Bushnell, Kimball Co., Nebraska. Made camp by a large reservoir. Skinned all p.m. A sprinkling of "typically" eastern birds was noted - Grackle, Brown Thrasher, and Eastern Kingbird. There must be numerous eastern birds which have the western limits of their ranges in this area. Also noted a sizable flock of Franklin's gulls flying over the reservoir. May 13- May 19. En route from Bushnell, Kimball Co., Nebraska, to Harriman, Orange Co., New York, via Chicago, Ill.; Arlo, Michigan; and Pittsburgh, Penna. May 20. Harriman, 4900', Orange Co., New York. Collected a catbird and a cowbird in a.m. We are on the property of William R. Davis, comprising some 7 acres of open grassland, shrubby grass-land, and rather dense woods. The under-cover is very dense. Dominant tree is Acer rubra.

May 20. Harriman, 900, Orange Co., New York. Other common plants and trees are juniperus virginiana, Pinus toricodendron, a species of Sumac (Pinus), and numerous oaks & elms. The more common birds are yellowthroats, catbirds, song sparrows, Baltimore Orioles, and barn swallows. Collected a.m. There are numerous golden-winged warblers here. Weather warm and humid. May 21. Visited explored a large tract of swampland near Florida, New York, a few miles S.W. of here. Very poor collecting. This is an extensive area of scrub and graybird, with a few widely separated patches of hardwood. Weather very hot and humid. Bright sunlight. Very few birds singing, and even fewer in evidence. Returned home in P.M. May 22. Collected a.m. Bob Storer came up about 7:30 a.m. with a friend, and we collected and skinned until noon. In the P.M. drove to Greenwood Lake, and took a walk along a stream up a hill into a clump of Tsuga canadensis where we heard black-throated green warblers. Rana clamitans numerous along this stream. We collected 15. They are found for the most part sitting on top of boulders at the edges of pools and they dive into the water when approached too rapidly. They are easy to catch if the collector is at all careful. We also took 5 Rana sylvatica and 1 Rana palustris. The former were found in dead leaves and fallen twigs near the stream.

John Davis. 1941. May 23. Harriman, 900', Orange Co., New York. They are small and very active, moving rapidly toward the stream when pursued. The B. palustris was taken in a small pool. Returned and shot a few more birds. Skinned and prepared the amphibians in p.m. Among the plants I have identified today are a species of Viburnum which is rather common, and Prunus serotina, which is widely distributed, but quite small. The sumac here is Rhus hirta. May 24. Set 20 traps in grass and sumac jungle. Nothing in traps. Shot a robin. Left traps out. May 25. 1 Jayus hudsonius in traps. Collected a chimney swift, rose-breasted grosbeak, and golden-winged warbler. May 26. Nothing in traps. Picked up live. Collected catbird, towhee, and yellowthroat. May 27. Went into New York. Visited American Museum of Natural History. Saw Ernest Mayr, George Goodwin, and Harold Anthony. At 8 p.m., went to Linnean Society meeting. More emphasis on field notes than at Cooper Club. Field notes constituted the major part of the meeting. Fallow Griscom attended. Seems to be regarded as the patron saint of eastern field ornithology.

In Davis. 1941. New York City - Montauk Point, Suffolk Co., Long Island, New York. May 28. Drove to Montauk Point via Moniches Inlet which is a few miles west of Easthampton. Sibley collected a ruddy turnstone and a semifemaled sandpiper for me. Leaside and Sharp-tailed Sparrows fairly common in saw grass. Shorebirds only fair. I have seen much better birding in July & August at this same spot. Drove on to Montauk. Virtually no birds here. Picked up dead Catbird, Yellowthroat, and Red-eyed Vireo at base of lighthouse. Camped and set traps a few miles from Montauk Point. Woodland running down to marsh bordering a small bay. May 29. Picked up traps. 1 Hirolotus pennsylvanicus and 2 Chloronaea leucofusus. Drove back. Saw pine warbler in Pinus rigida near Brookhaven. Drove to Bob Store's house in South Orange, Essex Co., New Jersey. Spent night there. May 30. Store & a friend of his, Vinton Loe, took us to Troy Meadows and Boonton Ridge, both in Morris Co., N.J. Returned to Harriman in late P.M. May 31. Drove to Phoenicia, Ulster Co., New York, and camped in the Catskill Mts. a few miles west of south of town. Set out about 40 traps

Also along the rocky shores of Esopus creek, which is a good- sized swift-flowing front stream. Rained during night and most of next morning. June 1. Picked up traps. Caught 1 Sorex fumeus, 1 Blarina brevicauda, 1 Trapaecogaps insipie, 3 Chromysus leucopus, and 1 Glancomps Vo- lans. The Glancomps was caught in a mouse trap at the edge of a stream, and evidently fell backward into a pool and was drowned; I found it in about 4 miles of water. Sorex was caught in a runway under the moss near a stream. Returned to Harriman & skinned p. m. June 2. drove to Yale University, New Haven, Conn., and stayed overnight with friends there. June 3. Went birding in Westville, a suburb of New Haven, and at the Sand Spot, near Fair Rock, in a. m. Then drove to M.C.Z. at Harvard University, met James L. Peters. Helped Libby measure some linnie. Peters invited us out to his home. We set traps, as did Peters. Stayed overnight at a point - 1 mi. S Ayer, Worcester Co., Mass. June 4. Picked up traps. 3 Sorex +some Chromysus. Peters caught 4 Chromysus in 19 traps. drove to Harriman and skinned p. m.

Drove to Baltimore via Pennsville Ferry. Then to Bowie, Md. where we went to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Refuge to see Don Tilletson. We were told that he had left for California the week before. Then drove to a point :- 5 mi. S Laurel, 150; Prince George's Co., Maryland. It was interesting to see the differences in veget- ation between this locality and near Harriman. Among the common trees were:- black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), liquidambar (Liquidambar styraciflua), red oak (Quercus rubra), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), short-leaf pine (Pinus echinata), Jersey pine (Pinus virginiana), and sugar maple (Acer saccharum), and post oak (Quercus stellata). Set out 15 traps. June 17. Tr Peromyscus leucopus in traps. Changed clothes and went to the U.S. National Museum in Washington. The three of us were very kindly received by Dr. Alexander Wetmore. He introduced me to Doris Cochran, Assistant Curator of Reptiles and Amphibians. Spent the morning examining the amphibians R.A. Sturton brought back from Salvador. Examined some Pana Prekosa. Dr.

Thu Davis 1941. June 17. U.S. National Museum, Washington, D.C. Robert Smith came in and I talked to him at some length about collecting in the tropics. Dr. Smith and I had lunch together. Returned and met Webmore, Sibley, & Storer who had just returned from lunch. Helped Sibley measure some litmice. Met Dr. Herbert Friedman. Spent the rest of the afternoon looking at Vera Cruz birds sent in by M. Carricker. Friedman spent at least an hour talking to the three of us. George Lowery of Louisiana State Univ. came in and talked with us. Met Bert Reignan. Left museum at about 6 p. m. Drove to a point a few miles north of Richmond, Va., and camped for the night. June 18. Drove to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, via Suffolk, Va., & Elizabeth City, N.C. Then to Roanake Island, & back to mainland by ferry. Drove to Alligator Lake (New Lake), Hyde Co., North Carolina This is well out in the backwoods. The road runs by farms owned by so-called "poor whites". A farmer let us into a disused school- house near his property, and we made camp here. Set out a few traps. Alligator Lake is 4 mi. + 3 mi. Shores are lined with cypress (Taxodium distichum) and are very flat. Alligator Lake is the name on the road maps, and is the name used by the natives here. The road signs read "New Lake".

June 19. Alligator Lake (New Lake), Hyde Co., North Carolina. 1 Corapycus lineatus in traps. Saw yel- low-throated warbler and carolina Wren. Put up the mouse. Drove south to a point: 28 mi. SE Wilmington, Brunswick Co., North Carolina. Made Camp # in a large grove of live oaks (Quercus virginiana) which were of great size. We were camped about 75 yards from the inland waterway, which lies just west of the outer beach and the ocean. The oaks were bordered by a strip of loblolly pines (Pinus Taeda), and then by the marsh grass bordering the waterway. Set out traps (about 35) in oak, pine, and salt marsh habitats. Caught 2 very young mice, probably Oryzomys. Broke camp, and drove to Daytona Beach, Volusia Co., Florida, via Charleston, S.C., Savannah, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fla. Went to home of Mrs. George Davis, in Daytona Beach. We are going to spend about 2 weeks here. Daytona Beach, Volusia Co., Florida. June 20. Met Robert F. Jorgstreet, an official of the Florida State Audubon Society. He told us of sever- al localities where we might find some of the typical Florida birds. He took us to see a Mr. Hadley, another Audubon Society man, who gave me information on the Kissimmee Region. Saw Calot Tern, Wilson Plover, Gray Kingbird, and Florida Jay. Set 25 traps in the Pal-

June 22. Collected along beach: 1 Semifalmated + 1 Wilson Plover. Drove about the country south of Daytona Beach looking for possible collecting places. Hunted for a few hours in pine barrens (Pinus palustris). No luck. Too hot's bright. June 23. Collected in pine flats Tri. & Daytona Beach, Volusia Co., Florida: 1 Pinewoods Sparrow, 1 Cardinal, + 3 Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. Plumage note - immature red-cockadeeds had a large central red crown patch, the adult had 2 small cockades, 1 in each auricular tract. Most of the birds seem to be young of the year. 2 wood-peckers + the cardinal were young. June 24. Hunted in pine flats again. Tufted oriole, 1 bluejay, + 1 crested flycatcher, all young, + 1 red-bellied woodpecker, adult. Young birds were very numerous, especially bluejays and crested flycatchers. Sibly shot a large colubid snake, tentatively identified as a "Chicken snake" (Elaphe sp.), which measured 5 ½ feet. I preserved & cataloged it.

June 25. Merritt Island, Brevard Co., Florida. Went to Merritt Island after dusky sea - Ride Sparrows, but saw none. The mos- quitoes are absolutely incredible. As we moved across the salt marshes after sparrows, hundreds of them lit all over us. Anywhere on the island, if we stopped the car 20 seconds to observe, 50 or 60 mos- quitoes flew in the windows. Saw no spar- rows. Collected a red-winged blackbird. Also a glass-snake (Ophisaurus sp.) that Store saw crawling along the road. Specimen about 2 feet long, looking much like a giant Anniella. Also a blue-bellied Cnemidophorus-like lizard which I shot in the sand near some Palmetto scrub. June 26) 1 mi. S Daytona Beach, Volusia Co., Florida. Collected here again. 2 immature Carola Warblers, immature bickled bitmouse + brown-headed nuthatch, + adult yellow- billed cuckoo, Summer Tanager, + white- eyed jowbee. Also 1 Hyla femoralis. These were the first brownheaded nuthatches we have run into. Store + I saw a flock of 5 high in Living Palustris. He Shot 2 + I. They showed no fear and did not fly when we shot. Stable, Sibley

Spent the day around the house. No col- lecting. June 28. Out to Pine flats again. Immature red-crested woodpecker and cardinal; adult red-bellied woodpecker, Summer tanager, and white-eyed towhee. Skinned p.m. Met a caretaker of some houses in the pine flats. He told us that we could use one of his row- boats and explore the river (Spruce Creek?) behind his house. June 29. Woke up early to find that we had been robbed of my field glasses and altimeter, and all the shotguns (2-16 ga. 1-, 4-10ga.). River trip was, of course, off. Notified police who liberally sprinkled the truck with alumi- nium dust looking for fingerprints, with very negligible results. However, the equipment was insured, so we made arrangements for the purchase of guns the following day. Spent the rest of the day feeling alternately disappointed over losing collecting time, + elated at the pros- pects of buying new guns. June 20. Investigated the gun situation in Daytona Beach, but found nothing satisfactory. So-

John Davis 1941. June 30. Daytona Beach, Volusia Co., Florida Sibley and I drove to Jacksonville (180 miles round trip) and each bought a new gun. Returned home about 3:30 P.M. July 1. Packed the truck preparatory to leaving Daytona Beach. However, an act officer of the insurance company has to see us about the stolen equipment before we can leave. This now 6:00 P.M. and no insurance man. So we will have to stay at least until tomorrow. July 2. Contacted insurance company. We then left Daytona Beach, went south & west through Deland, Sanford, and Apopka, camping at a point 2 mi. SW Orlando, Orange Co., Florida. Camped in a typical pine-oak-palmetto flat. Set a few traps. July 3. Caught 2 Heromyscus, probably floridanus. Collected Southern Meadowlark, Carolina Chickadee, Flicker, and immature Blue Warbler. Drove on south to Okeechobee, Okeechobee Co., Florida. Drove north and west of town, then made a triangle, returned to Okeechobee. The land is mostly open grass and palmetto. Saw Florida Duck, Florida Crane, Limpkin, Burrowing Owl, and Audubon Caracara. Water Moccasins (Agkistrodon piscivorus) were quite common along the roads by drainage canals.

July 3. Okeechobee, Okeechobee Co., Florida. We collected 1, also a copperhead (Agkistrodon mokesen), and a small water snake. The localities were in Highlands Co. and Glades Co. Florida, but were taken from Okeechobee, which is in Okeechobee Co., Florida. Stayed overnight in Okee- dobee. July 4. Drove around the east shore of Lake Okeechobee, Okeechobee to, Florida. Saw Gullbilled Terns, swallow- tailed kites, and eastern glossy ibis. Then to Miami via State Highway 26. This route passes through the Everglades, which are most interesting in this sector at least). Flat, open, dry country, without much life. However, at one place we did see at least 10 swallowtailed kites flying about. Camped in the pine flats outside of Miami. July 5. Drove to Homestead & from there out the Florida Keys as far as Lower Matecumbe Key, Monroe Co., Florida, where we made camp. The Keys are small islands made almost entirely of coral. The vegetation grows directly from decomposed coral, & is very lush. Most of the scrub is mangrove, which is very densely so for the most dominant plant on the keys. Introduced Casuarina has also gotten a strong foothold on the Keys, as have coconut palms. Birds are quite scarce. We saw frigate birds and great white herons. Florida grackles and gray kingfishers are numerous on the

Otherwise, the airfauna seems quite limited, both as to species + numbers. The climate on the keys is quite equable. It gets fairly cot during the middle of the day, but there is always a cool offshore breeze. The islands are very flat + low; the water is a peculiar emerald green, with blotches of dark purple marking the coral reefs. July 6. We were rained out at 3:45 a.m. + slept a couple of hours in the truck. Had breakfast, then drove to Key West. Passed over numerous keys, which are so pretty much the same all the way out, varying in size more than anything elese. Big Pine Key is distinguished by its large size and large groves of longleaf pine (Pinus palas- tris), which is very rare or absent on the other keys. Key West is a rather dirty, unpleasant town. It resembles the West Indian towns very much in the architecture and structure of the houses and buildings, but once the novelty has worn off, the town offers nothing. Drove to Boca Chica Key, and made camp. The mosquitoes were very bad. They are small, and go through the ordinary bed net with no trouble. A good breeze is supposed to render them inactive, but they seemed absolutely

Finally at 2:15 a.m. we packed up and drove in to Key West, where Riley and Storey left in the truck, and I slept on a sea-wall. Got our mail in Key West, and then drove to Miami. Birds observed on the Keys from July 5-7 were:- 1). Brown Pelican 20 2). Man-o'-war Bird 30 3). Great White Heron 10 4). Great Blue Heron 6 5). American Egret 2 6). Snowy Egret 4 7).

The Davis - 1941. July 8. Miami, Dade Co., Florida - Tampa, Hillsborough Co., Florida. Drove from Miami to Tampa, where we stayed for the night. There was a shallow pool series of pools behind our cabin, from which I collected 1 Bufo terrestris, 2 Bufo fuscicus, +1 Gastrothrype Carolinensis. Gastrothrype was very numerous but very hard to catch. July 9-11. Tampa, Florida - Brownsville, Texas, via Panama City, Florida, New Orleans, La., Lake Charles, La., Houston, Texas, and Harlingen, Texas. We came to Harlingen the night of July 11, and went to see Mr. L. Derby Davis, an expert on birds of the Brownsville region, and birds of Mexico. Had a talk with him before we proceeded to Brownville. July 12. Collected at around Brownsville. Stayed in Raymondville, Texas. July 13. Went birding with Davis. He showed us a lot of new birds, and some good spots for seeing the local avifauna. There are more birds here than I have seen in any area for sometime. We have seen 75 species, and numbers of individuals are high. July 14. Went over to Matamoros, on the Mexican side, saw the town, and found out about carrying specimens through the U.S. Customs. Anything goes that doesn't have feathers. Spent the night at home of L. Derby Davis -

Drove around in the rain after supper looking for a camping place. We questioned two hikers on the road, and they turned out to be members of a hiking club which owned a cabin nearby. We were invited to spend the night in their cabin, which we did. July 20. Looked for birds in a.m. Saw red warblers, red-backed junco, Harland's towhee, meji- can chickadee, olive warbler, green-striped browner, Atapetes filicatus, and Bell Warbler. Spent rest of day around Mexico City and Xochimilco, where we took a boat ride through the "floating gardens", which are neither floating nor gardens. Very dis- appointing. Back to Desierto de los Leones for the night. July 21. Went in to Mexico City, where Sibley went to the authorities and started the process of get- ting a permit to collect birds.

Set 58 traps, some along a rock wall, the rest in the mesquite thickets. July 24. 2 Hornys in traps. The ants had cleaned the bait from most of the traps, but the mice were in good shape. Went bat hunting in early p.m. with Sibley and Store. We found a large cave above the stream, and obtained about 20 vampire bats. Skinned p.m. Moved trap line. About 45 traps out. July 25. Nothing in traps. A few spring ant dropped. Ants still bad. Hunted reptiles in a.m. Broke camp, and drove to Chifaningo, Guerrero, where we contacted W.W. Brown. He is an old- time collector. Has been collecting in the state of Guerrero for 4 years. Going Is now planning to return to U.S. with his collections. Spent several hours with him, listening to him re- count one wild experience after another. Saw some of his specimens. He puts up the most beautiful skins I have ever seen. Drove on to a few miles out of Chifaningo, and slept in the truck. July 26. Moved up a few miles into the pine belt, and stopped for a few hours. Then went on to
