Wm. B. Richardson 1936 49 General Account Aug 13 Catch - 7 Thomomys bottae + Peromyscus maniculatus 11 Dipeodomys Soon after noon we broke camp retracing our route back to Clemans and then following the road to the west which brought me into a more southern part of the South Fork of the Kern River. The conditions here are nearly identical with those of the place just left. Their are the precipitation under rocky hills vegetated with Pinons and a few Yellow Pines and the broad, comparatively flat valley westward from Kennedy meadow. The soil of this valley is of a light colored, coarse decomposed granite type on which I grew brush fuel, sage and the unknown (to me) types. This evening I set out about 400 mouse traps, 8 rat traps and 13 gopher traps. Aug 14 My catch this morning consisted of 11 Dipeodomys 15 Peromyscus maniculatus, 5 Perognathus, 3 Neotoma fuscipes
