Calif. monument, Clark Co., Nev.

(cont.) Muspidis were taken from traps in the willow-
association. One was shot. The other was
killed with a club.
In another trap, at the edge of the river,
under willow trees, an Otus asio was found dead.
The trap had been baited with meat.
I returned to camp about as darkness settled.
In the evening, I put up the barred screech owl,
and the muskrat was skinned.
Feb. 12, 1934.
Early in the morning, I went with Orr and
Hatfield, to visit their gopher traps, near Hiko
Spring. Approximately fifteen Ammospermophilus
were seen. I shot one. Their metropolis was
in the rocky hills association.
After we had returned to camp, I put up
the muskrat skin, and skinned out the two
shunks.
No specimens were taken from the muskrat
traps. I took them all up and brought them to
camp.
While dinner was cooking, I shot a free-tailed
bat (Tadarida mexicana). Several bats were
flying above the grassy flat, just below camp.
