Walther Cr., 4 1/2 mi. D.F. Priest Valley,
1850 ft, Fresno Co., Calif.
December 28, 1932
Got a Bluebird, a Plain Titmouse,
and a Gambel White Crowned Sparrow.
Did more blood smears and then
got up 2 Ceromycus trees and
3 Ceromyces manniculatus that
I or secured. Bird situation looks
pretty bad as far as no. of specimens
obtained.
T.B. Green has a mud min
about ten feet long and 3 feet
wide that oozed out on an open
hill side. It crusts over in dry
weather, but is always soft
underneath. The mud like clay
is an olive brown color and
contains no grit. Only washing
one's hands in water with a
little of this clay for soap leaves
the hands faultlessly clean and
pink, even if they were greasy.
December 29, 1932

sinornatus, 1 Aphelocoma calif., and
