This species was maintained for about 3 weeks on bird seed and apple cores and then given to B. J. Kenagy, UCSD, who fed it Alplex compacta folia, which it failed to eat and subsequently died. It is now frozen, presumably at UCSD, to be deposited in the vertebrate collection of UC I in due time. March 20 Returned to Yucca Valley from Berkeley, ca. 500 miles, 10 hr drive, set out 200 folding Skeeman Live Traps, 100 on each side of the Pioneer Ridge Road about 1/4 mi. E. of Pioneer Town Road. The catch was as follows:
