Gymnogyps californianus June 27, 1946 Shandon, Calif. John E. Thayer, and which was collected from Eastern San Luis Obispo County, California. This egg was collected on May 12, 1909, ----- Wm. D. F. Harris, Curator of Oology. "Evidently Truesdale gave me some wrong dope - Price & Tuft must have gotten the 1907 egg, at Paso Robles I met Silas Denton who is in charge of Avenal Ranch. He had heard of no carders being seen there recently but invited me to come & wait the ranch. June 28, 1946 N. Cholame, Calif. Drove from Shandon to Cholame Flats, thence to top of a 1739 ft. hill about 8 miles S. of Castle Mtn., & was set to watch by 9 a.m. Air clear & slightly cool - perhaps 70° - & fog lingering in valley in Paso Robles area earlier today. Light S. breeze. I could view Castle Mtn. & Table Mtn. & Turkey Flat areas from this hill, & the water hole & cattle & calf carcass on Cholame Flats. This hill seemed to be on the flight line of carders from Castle Mtn. to Cholame Flat on the 2 days I watched previously. I am told me he used to work at Stone Canyon mine & helped build the road there. It was rough country but not suitable for carder roosting. There was a lizzard roost there, however. He also repeated the story of 14 carders hanging around Twisselman Ranch one summer 3 or 4 years ago
