L. M. Boyers 1932 Watthams Cr., 1/2 mi. S.E. Priest Valley 85 1850 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. December 26, 1932 by paths worn thru the dead grasses and weeds. These may cross and re-cross, but always takes the shortest distance between two holes. I set out 50 traps on the colony flat and 18 more part way down the trail to camp. While putting out traps I saw a Black-tailed Jack Rabbit and he headed from the open into the close thick growing Adenostoma fasciculatum. In fact both Cotton-tails and Jacks seem to prefer this Adenostoma since all of both I have seen have either come out of or gone into it. December 27, 1932 Some of the other plants and bushes seen here that are fairly common are Symphoricarpos sp?, Solanum sp? var. inter- medium, Salvia, Agrostis, and Eris dictyon crassifolium. Took in traps this A.M. and saw 2 more Jack Rabbits. And again they both headed across an open flat over 100 yds long and plunged into an Adenostoma thicket.
