M. Boyers 1932 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 Went bird hunting and got 1 Larinus ludioviensis, 1 Baclolpus sinornatus, 1 Aphelocoma calif., and 2 Pijilos fuscus. Went around gopher traps with Orr getting some, and Orr also getting a Clipmunk
