L. M. Boyers 1932 1/2 mi. F. Miramonte, 3500 ft., Fresno Co., 65 Calf. December 18, 1932 and the snow is going very fast, only the most protected spots still being covered. Also at the location 1 mi. W. of Miramonte where we set the traps for Perognathus, I heard and saw one Eutamias in a small pile of large rocks on a shaded North facing slope, just off the road. Efforts to secure a shot were useless. December 19, 1932 Up and dressed by 6:00 A.M. this morning. Got in the truck and went W. to set traps 1 mi. W. of Miramonte, 3200 ft. where Orr got one Peromyscus calf and I got one Perognathus calf, that bore out the theory about the holes being Perognathus holes. At this location we saw and heard a White Whin and White-crowned Sparrow. At the second location, 3 mi. W. of Miramonte, 2900 ft., Orr got one Perognathus calf on a shaded brush covered hillside at the foot of a black oak with moss covered rocks around,
