Davis 20 1946 4618 Saloma Ave., Van Nuys, Los Angeles, Calif. May 10, 1946 U. C. L. A. Collections. Mr. Van Rossem is one of the most affable and courteous men I have ever met, and showed me every consideration. Returned to 4618 Saloma Ave. c. 5:00 p.m. & spent rest of day there. May 11, 1946 Packed truck and left at about 9 a. m. Picked up groceries in San Fernando and then drove via the Ridge Route (Hwy 99) to a point 1 mi. S.W. of Lebec, where we turned off to the W on an un-numbered road leading through Fraxer Park & past Mount Pinos to a junction with Hwy 399. The country we passed through was extremely arid juniper-juniper country and wholly unsuitable for Euxatria collecting. Turned N.E. on 399, and stopped for lunch on E. Side of U.S. 399, 4.7 mi. S. of San Luis Obispo Co. Line, Santa Barbara Co., Calif.: After lunch we looked for Xantusia vigilis (?) in a good-sized patch of yucca whipplei about a hundred yards off the road.
