covering one he [illegible]. Night was calm into a

and 1 Onychogalea fuscicauda. Left for
for Angles at 7:00 a.m. I must conclude
that M. [illegible] occurs in extremely low
density in this locality.

Spoke with Dr. Richard E. MacMillans from
9:30-10:00 a.m. He informed me the
previous D. merriami taken was about
1/4 mi. from Puma Rd., on the north side
of the road leading to the Buns Property. 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.

Pioneer Town Road. The catch was as
