1. M. Boyers 1932 1/2 mi. E. Miramonte, 3500 ft., Fresno Co., '64 Cali. December 18, 1932 After that we went to a place 3 mi. W. Miramonte and set out traps for Peromyscus calif in moss-covered, boilder-strewed, Madrone and Manzanita covered slopes. Wood-rat sets were also made in some of the frequent nests. A Western Shitcather was seen here as well as a White Wren (1 mi. W. Miramonte) to add to the bird list. One also reported Evening Grosbeaks and Bewick Wrens. We heard Wrentits and Plain-titmouse, but so far haven't been able to record any. No bush rabbits were seen at either of these locations West of Miramonte. Also those down this morning were moving down hill at between 8:00 and 8:30. The sun was just setting, the crest of the hill and they were coming down from the ridge proper toward the still-shaded canyon. Neither specimen 296 or 297 had infected livers or kidneys or intestines by external examination, and Oar's specimens 877, 878 & 879 were not infected in these same areas. Blood smears were made. The weather was warmer today.
