Elvis 31 1946 2 mi. SE Beeznum, 1650 ft., Tehama Co., Calif. May 24, 1946 The range there are heavy stands of rather large oaks and pines. At about 4 p. m., after camp had been made, I set 40 traps, all in the Adenose- toma towards the top of a hill immediately N.E. of Camp. Saw very little sign, there being a few old burrows (Perognathus?) and some Dipodmys burrows that showed some signs of recent use. Most of the traps were set at the bases of Adenostoma shrubs. Came back to camp, and then followed the creek a few hun- dred yards north of camp, turning rocks as I went. Found one Deloforms. After supper, Dr. Miller & Ward went night hunting. I walked down the road which lies west of camp, and heard both Horned and Screech owls. Saw two large bats (not Myotis) fly over about dusk, but they did not stay in proximity long enough for a shot. Heard a coyote close by just as I returned to camp around 9 p. m. May 25, 1946 Picked up my trap line. Only 4 catches:- 3 Perognathus + 1 Dipodmys. Spent several hours hunting birds, and looking for a site for a trap line. Took only three birds-
