L.M. Boyers 1932 Walthams C., 4 1/2 mi. S.E. Priest Valley 1850 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. December 29, 1932 by shooting it off of a fallen log in a dry wash. I also got two more Bacolops insornatus. While eating breakfast on the porch I shot a Cargodaeus mexicanus and another Farris ludovicianus from the top of a valley oak at a measured distance of 55 yds with a 410 shotgun, and a no. 8 shell. Saw one brush rabbit run from under a Photinia arbutifolia down hill thru loose brush, and wasn't able to secure it. Brush rabbits and cottontails both inhabit semi-open brush country here and also the jack rabbits to a lesser degree. A.H. Bonds brought in a Pujalo fucens and a Pujalo maculatus This country is covered in places with shell deposits and T.B. Gun showed no rib fragments and vertebrae over 6 inches long and 4 or 5 inches thus, petrified, that had been picked up on his ranch.
