LIDICKEN 1959 Journal (July 12 cont.) Set out 47 traps on open gravel slopes & 2 catclaw thickets before dinner. Met a man who was looking for lions & he confirmed that the peak to the N of us is Cerro Altamira, & he said the peak just S of us is called Cerro San Juan. This is the one on which San Pedro de Colores is parched. Set out 20 more traps along small canyon near camp in brushy areas. Saw a Lepus californicus. Next also saw a Lepus & a Sylvilagus. Watched for rats at the entrance to sewer mine shafts near small canyon near camp. While setting 20 traps alone I looked down a vertical shaft & saw a small bat circling in it. At dusk saw rats come out of one mine & circled briefly in the depression between 2 shafts which had several mesquite growing in them. I shot 1 mystax from this group. I didn't see any bats which looked different from this species. It was too windy & raining for bats to do much flying about. There was a hard rain shower in mid afternoon & light showers intermittent into the evening. Dan smelled a snake while checking some of his traps after dark. There was apparently no heavy rains during night, but it was quite windy. Dane & I strung a small bat net over the entrance mine shafts in which I had seen a bat flying after dark. Skinned the mystax white legs skinned some lizards. July 13 Catch: (Picked up all traps)
