J. Roagas Cedar Canyon, 5000 ft., Providence Mts., San Bernardino Co., Calif. June 1, 1938 Dr. Grinnell, after having car trouble from 5:30 to 11:45, had lunch and left for Berkeley. Since Elmer Aldrich had several day's work to do in Berkeley, and has to leave for his Ranger Naturalist job at Crater Lake on June 11, he went back with Dr. Grinnell. Yesterday and last night, and this morning until about 11:0'clock the sky was heavily clouded over. It cleared up by noon and has been warmer than the last three or 4 days. The following is a report on the lizard trap (see notes May 25) up to date. I set it on May 24, put fresh meal worms on it the morning of the 25th and that day, caught 1 Cnemidophorus, I put more fresh bait on it the next morning, and on that day, caught one Vta 2. The next day, though the bait was alive and wriggling, I didn't catch anything. The next day (25th) I moved the trap down the wash about 100 yards, put fresh bait on it and caught 1 Lelepsone magister. On the 29th, the bait still wriggling, I caught 1 Cnemidophorus. On the 30th, the bait dead, I caught 1 Eunicea. On the 31st, the bait dried up, I caught another Cnemidophorus. June 1, I caught nothing, and moved the trap into Cedar Canyon proper, just west of the mouth of this wash. I set it under a Cate Claw near a large rock and the rocky hillside. The other sets were undisturbed.
