1/4 mi. NNE Stubby Springs Joshua Tree National
Monument Riverside Co., California.
October 4
at this time of year, the catch of the
night of October 4 was as follows: 27 Dipodops
merriami, 6 Dipodops microps, 6 Perognathus
trinitis, 2 P. boylii (?), 3 Perognathus
famosus, 1 Mycterus torridus, and 1
Unnorogensia [illegible]. Six of
the D. microps were taken in the lines
leading east from camp; five of those
were from the south edge of the
blackbrush flat, near a drop into
a gully system some 50 x 62 south of
the road to stubby springs. One young 9 was
taken the 2nd crop from camp (20 x 62
away) on the north side of the road. Two
D. m. crops, both 87, were taken in 50
trap set 200 x 62 east of the intersection
of Stubby Springs Road and Jurper flats
Road. One male was similar to a male
carried there Oct. 3rd, and I am assuming
this a re-capture. Of the 8 caught, 4
were 87, 4 ??. I suspect two were re-
captures; the other 6 were not previously
carried (obviously, since all ?? of Oct
3rd were saved, all 4 ?? of Oct. 4 must
be new captures. D. microps is consistently
present in the blackbrush one near camp, and
