LIDICKER 1958 (Jun 26 cont.) But couldn't so we returned to Camargo & took highway 45 to Hidalgo del Parral. We went directly N out of Parral on a dirt road & stopped & camped after 3.2 mi (3 mi. NNW Hidalgo del Parral). This is an area of very open brush with scattered spectabilis mounds. We set out 57 traps. The ants were terrible & we retreated on whole line about 2100. Saw sev. bats at dusk. June 27 Catch: Peromyscus eremicus -197. Dipodomys spectabilis -2 D. merriami -1 (bad exter & part Also picked up 1 Cnemidophorus I viscer - unsalvageable) Measurements: ---- 132-38-13; dt.st.dk brown & dzo w/st. which is quite broad; peril gray, actually lighter than canel strips; plantar dusky gray brown & fully ext.; dorsum seems similar to species caught nr. Parral in '56. We broke camp fairly early & returned to Parral & then continued S. We stopped and had lunch along the rd. 7 mi. S Villa Matamoros. We collected a Cnemidophor here & saw sev. others. At 23.7 mi by rd, N of La Resolana we saw a Lepus californicus. Also in this area - sev. W. Meadowlarks & a S Wainson's Hawk. At about 5 mi. S La Resolana the country gets more shrubby - still much grass
