Gaulti, Blos 1975 Journal \n1/4 mi NNE Stubbs Springs Joshua Tree National Monument, Riverside Co. California October 4 That was so moon and mist. Temp - was about 70C. In the 100 traps @mi N of the intersection, we caught - in addition to the 1 Dipodops micros mentioned - 23 D. merriami, 1 Orychomys toniculus, 3 Neotoma lepida, 3 Perognathus truei, and 1 L. boylii (?). In the 150 traps set along Stubbs Springs Road we caught 6 D. micros (5 ot ot, released, and 1 d), 30 D. merriami; 3 Perognathus formosus, 8 Perognathus truei. The D. micros seemed most abundant in the areas of hard packed gravelly soil paralleling the Stubbs Springs Road between the turnaround and the intersection. There is much woodland habitat on the slopes of the mountains north of Juniper Flat, but no traps were set here as it is = 3/4 mi. from road end. The one species caught near roads' end indicates the presence of the species here, lest the soil is sandy and this is probably less favorable habitat for the species than the one on the southern extreme of the flat. Jim Leeter ran the 30 traps near camp (productive of 4 of our 7 micros) at 9:30 pm and found D. merriami but no D. micros. This suggests a later activity period for the species. Pinion and especially juniper berries are abundant, covering the ground beneath the bushes
