Hi mi. W Horse Their spr., san Bernardino co, calif. May 1 Today was very clear, sun warm but air temp. about 62, cool when wind blew, as it did intermittently. June 6 1 mi. N. Fletcher, 6100 ft., Mineral Co., Nev. I arrived Fletcher at approx 6:00 PM, having left Berkeley at about 10:10 AM. No one was home at the "town" save four dogs, so I drove NNE on the road toward Yerington about a mile and will set traps working back towards Fletcher, beginning at about 6:30 PM. My drive to Fletcher over 17 miles of poor dirt road has convinced me that kangaroo rats ought to be caught in the most accessible place possible. There appears to be little special about this sage flat that isn't to be found on the road to Hawthorne; it's just a lot harder to get to. The car is permeated with dust!. Sail is very sandy here, doesn't look like it would support a burrow, and no humans present. If I weren't positive that other collectors (Hopner, Pearson, Russell) had been successful here, I wouldn't bother to trap. If I don't catch many D. miranda I'll head south and spend my time in the Owens Valley rather than wasting it here. Cattle
