J.O.Straney 1976 2. June, cont'd. and he sounded exactly like a rattlesnake. Holding him behind the net was of no use in attracting others in. At 11pm I joined the other three in sleep and saw what was probably a kit fox on the way back to the campsite. June Got up at 5:45 AM on the 26th to check the net and, as the sun came up, saw nothing else in it - fortunately the luis weren't active yet. We left at around 11Am after Lawrence and I processed specimens. He plans to put up the bat skins. He caught three Peromyscus (crinitus??) and I obtained tissues from one - LGF 86, a ?. Went to Tucker Canyon via Douglas, Az. and hiked up to Patton's Locality there, 3 mi up trail #228, but obviously did not find it. Tried to find a cattle tank to net, but an owner told us none had water in them. After fixing a hole in the gas tank with soap, we stopped at a farm pond in a cattle field in the desert on the road back to Douglas - a large pond impossible to miss and impossible to net with 2 sets of poles. We saw 4 or 5 bats flying but by 11:15 had caught nothing so pulled things down and
