spectabilis boards along the road. Then I set 44 traps - about spacing traps well to Dave set 46. We saw a Blk. H. Jack roll it while setting traps. Wal had seen another cat in morning while we were picking my traps. On way back to camp, Dave & I saw a small animal run across the road which we thought might have been a Baronisus. July 5 checked traps: We had 2 Neotoma (lepida?) + 1 Onychomys in the 5 Schyzans. We also found a D. spectabilis DOB which was in good condition. In my traps I had 2 P. maniculatus, 1 Onychomys, 1 D. ordii, + 1 Parryothus flavus. Dave had 1 Reithrodontomy (large sp.), 1 Parryothus hispidus, 1 P. maniculatus, 1 Onychomys, 1 Squirrel + a Neotoma (lepida.) caught in a spectabilis board. This makes a total of 4 of the Neotoma which we took from spectabilis boards with no sign of a "wood- rat-nest". Shot another Aerothile along trap line + a pair Kernal lark. On way back to camp we stopped to look for tracks at the spot where we had seen the Baronius-like animal last night. Could find nothing suggestive. My gopher set was plugged again (also last night). Skinned animal. Rechecked gopher set in late afternoon + finally had goph. Also shot a Eutanaia
