Itinerary
Aug 2 W side Colorado R., 500 ft., 6 mi. N. Calif line, Clark Co., Nevada
mouse traps in the sand and fine gravel in the
bottom of a large wash. I caught 18 ♂ + 13 ♀ Dipodomys
merriami, 4 ♀ and 5 ♂ Perognathus formosus and 1 ♂
Perognathus penicillatus (?). After lunch we drove to
3 mi. S W Hicks Springs, 2400 ft., Clark Co., Nevada
to look for bats. We camped beside a small trickle of
water. I shot no bats, but other members of the group
Got a few Pipistrellus. D.H. Johnson, and Ned Stone
took the truck out to near Searchlight to look for
P. longimembris.
Aug 4 At noon yesterday we left camp and drove to 2 mi. E
Horman, 3500 ft., Los Angeles Co., Calif. via Victorville. On Aug
3 I set out no traps. Last night I set out 5-8 mouse
traps on a grassy hill side and along the side of a
small stream. Perhaps because of the strong wind blowing
trapping was very poor. I caught only one ♀ Dipodomys
gayensis and one ♂ Plecomyopus maniculatus. We are
now preparing to leave for Berkeley and do not expect to do
any more trapping.
We drove to Berkeley up the west side of the San Joaquin
Valley via Taft, Coalinga, Los Banos, Tracy and
Livermore. We arrived in Berkeley about 5:50 p.m.
