LIDICKER 1954 journal (July 13 cont.) Paragnathus -6 (I did not have any strong signs on rungs, but too rotten + and -fer to save so kept in shell only; another was brown + smell the reason) Oryctes torridus -2 (1 pair discarded) Peromyscus maniculatus -1 (discarded) Reithrodontomys -2 Dipodomys merriami -1 (had seen since 7 arespite off in our patch) Peromyscus evanescens -2 Peromyscus (triglinii)? -1 Peromyscus difficilis? -2 Peromyscus melanogryphus -6 (1 pair discarded) Neotoma -1 (caught in a frisky few clumps which had no sign of a house but saw places with looked like large mormoops) Dave smelled a skunk again when he ran his trapline while he left out. Skinner cat. This took until about 1900. Ned saw a Sylvorlepus again in evening. Got very windy about 1900. Set out 48 traps - maily for Paragnathus on open gravelly slopes. Made 3 Neotoma sets - 1 big house filed in small abortive mine shaft, + 2 others in clumps of shrubs with no visible houses. No gopher sign seen in this area at all. Ned set his traps about 1 mi NW of camp & found some small foots in a canyon. Around the foots were tracks which he took to be goat + skunk. Watched for bats - smell canyon E
