550 Last night I set 94 Museum special traps
on the study grid (10 X 10 m grid, 100 meters square).
I established .8 mi. East of White Mountain
Research Station. Traps were set at grid
markers and baited with peanut butter. It
was clear, warm, and windy, with an almost
new moon. Results: 1 Perognathus longimembris,
3 P. penicillatus (?), 1 Perognathus merriami
juv., and 1 Pipidolona merrioni.
D650 2 mi. E. Big Pine, Inyo Co., Calif.
Came to Big Pine at 7:30 PM to trap SE of
Junction of 164 & Wacoba Valley Road; set
4 parallel lines of 24 traps at ca. 20'
internals. Habitat here is mixed scrubland,
brushy. It has been windy for over 24 hrs,
so this may be productive, as wind eliminated
about 700 f.m. Traps baited with peanut
butter and set at base of bushes, as
usual. Soil here much sandier, few to no
rocks, as compared with Bishop localities.

Retrapping traps at 6:00 p.m. Total catch = 2
mule deer, 1 Pipidolona merrioni, 1 Perognathus longimembris

previous locality. Washed traps today and on
using "natural" peanut butter as bait. Set
in 2 loops; 1 E., the other W. of road leading
