Boulware, FT 1942 Itinerary Apr. 4 Mud Creek young lemomyscus, 4; Microtus, 1 (♀, nursing); Perognathus, 1 (♂). Mrs. Grinnell set out 5 gopher traps, single sets, in the grass of the meadow last night. Two of these caught gophers (1 small ♀ and 1 large ♂) and another two others were sprung.

While we were preparing specimens, Mrs. Grinnell scouted around under logs and rocks and brought in 6 Batrachoseps and 2 Sceloporus. Apr. 5 Last evening from camp we heard a horned owl and a screech owl. When we went to bed around 9 PM the skies were clear and almost white with stars. But the clouds soon closed over again and we had heavy showers during the night. This 40
