(July 22 cont.)
Thought was Rock Wren. After dinner I added fruit to my no.4 trap & also to my other no.2 trap. Set out
15 mins. Spec. in rocky cany canyon well above camp
in flows which were not open with small rocks there
like what I have mostly been setting up so now.
Several light showers in late afternoon & in evening. At
dusk waited for bats on the slope & of camp & in the
canyon bottom. Saw none. Did see quite a few
myotis velifer & slott ) flying around among
the oaks on the slope W of camp. There was a moderate
cast. 2 wind blowing during this time. Heard Canyon
Wren singing from one of rim rocks where traps are set. The
Petunia I was talking to this afternoon said that the area
in which we as camped & particularly the valley below
camp is called "Tamascelas". He couldn't write or read
so he couldn't check my transliteration. After dusk
I autopsied the P. diffilis which were to be thrown
away. The 16 cd. from 850 +/- ft. were as follows:
2 cd. ?/0 w/ desc. teeth; 1 cd. / w/ teeth. 5.5 mm. inactive;
1 cd. jwr. looking / with teeth & mm., not desc. + spid. tub. not distinct.
7 cd. ??: a) nfp, no embd. 5 pl. scns, nipples lg., but not lact.
b) snp, no embd, non-female
c) perf, 2 emb x17 mm.
d) imp, no embd. but lightly healed; horns st. enlarged;
2 cd. in rt. ov. + 1 in left.
e) nfp. 3 emb x 5 mm.; rt. ov w/1 cl. (1 emb in rt horn); 2 cd.
in left ov. (2 emb left horn).
f) nfp, 2 emb x16 mm. (1 cd. + 1 emb. in ea. side)
g) imp. 4 emb x11 mm. (2 each horn); rt. ov. w/2 cl,
left ov. w/3 cl.
