Moore. 43 1/2 N. San Bernardino 1600 ft. San Bernardino Co., Calif. May 22, 1951. Last evening went north from San Bernardino through the Shannon Hills to a lone hill rising out of the valley floor just at the base of the main slope of the San Bernardino Range. The south facing slope, where 100 mice traps were set at the 1600 ft level was covered sparsely with chaparral, and an occasional blooming Yucca dotted the hillside. The soil was of a clay like structure and fairly hard. Part of the hillside had been burned over some years ago and was covered with white sage. About twenty traps were set through this area but yielded only Peromyscus m. sonoriensis, Reithrodontomyss, and Peromyscus boylii rowleyi. No Perognathus were found within the burned over area although they were taken at the edge on both sides. Seven Perognathus fallax fallax were taken, mostly on the hard ground. One Dipodomys m. garneri was taken on open, hard ground, while one other individual was taken down in the soft, fine sand of the wash bottom. The sand in the wash bottom was of 'dune' like texture, or was blown up in piles, which were covered sparsely with coarse sword-like glass that grew in clumps: Here one Perognathus longemontis was taken. The trapline covered approximately one mile in distance, through chaparral and wash-litter and yielded a total of 87 mammals in the following proportion: 11 Peromyscus m. sonoriensis, 8 Peromyscus boylii rowleyi, 4 Peromyscus californicus, 1 Reithrodontomyss, 7 Perognathus fallax fallax,

A great many Mourning Doves were observed feeding in a large area of Sunflowers at the base of the hill. Bobby quail began coming into a small opening about two hours before sunset. Many Blue Jays flew around seriously as if they had nests nearby, and one Belt Sparrow was observed with a Lepidoptera of some form in its beak. One Sylvilagus bachmani was seen to scamper away through the brush and rabbit feces were everywhere along trails running through the brush. As I approached one of my traps, which contained a Perognathus, a Sharp-shinned Hawk arose from within a few feet of the trap. The animal was not touched. Ernest Wells, 5030 ft., T. 15 E., T. 11 N., Providence Into, Modave Desert, San Bernardino Co., California May 27, 1931 Leaving Redlands at 5:50 A.M. we travelled up through Cajon Pass, where we joined the National Old Trails Highway, which we remained until we reached Bombay. Mourning Doves and Ravens were the predominant birds around Victorville. Several Ammospermophilus crossed the road as we travelled along on both sides of Victorville. But three or four rabbits were observed between Victorville and Bombay.

"more East Well 5038 ft. R. 13 E, T. 11 N. Providence Mts. Mohave Desert, San Bernardino Co., California May 27/31. While we were stopped at a service station at Amboy a tourist drew up and asked the operator if there were any wolves around here, and stated that he had seen a large one crossing the road back about two miles, which goes to show the popular impression of eastern people travelling in the West concerning coyotes. Leaving Amboy we turned north up along wash which we followed for fifteen miles up around the north end of the Providence Mts. Along the wash birds with black tail jackers were seen crossing the road, which I supposed to be Say Phoebe's. One Emperors was also seen. Crimidesphes were seen occasionally and one was shot at the north end of the Providence Mts. The Providence Mts are relatively barren as compare to the Granite and Providence Mts to the north. The south facing slope is sparsely covered with canyon and juniper on the Granite Mts., and more heavily wooded on the north. At Cottonwood Spring, located at the southern end of the Providence Mts, R 13 E, T. 9 N. According to Plate III Water Supply Paper #90, U.S. Geological Survey, Cliff Barnes owns a cattle ranch, and resides there with his family throughout the year. He tells me that the place where he lives is wrongly named in that the Cottonwood Springs, as commonly known there, is located about three miles

There are two or three Cottonwood trees at his house, and the fact that the road at this place, and the spring are marked approximate location and location uncertain respectively accounts for the error of the topographers who probably observed the tree from some triangulation point nearby and assumed it to be the spring. Barnes informs me that there is a permanent spring known as Coyote Well a few miles from Cottonwood Springs, the road to which branches off from the Nels road a short distance below his ranch. Barnes reports finding a young mountain Sheep or Granite Mountain Goat last only been dead a short time. He had no knowledge as to what caused its death but remark that the anterior regions were heavily covered by ticks, and so much so around the head and especially the ears that the passage way to one of the ears was completely clogged up. I have the skull of a sheep that was found a year ago on the west end of the Granite Ints in the proximity of two others. It is a young individual also, and its condition showed that it had

A pipe line runs back in the mountains a short distance. Proceeding north along the railroad from Kelso we stopped at Lime after a climb of approximately two thousand feet in eighteen miles. One south of Kelso about three miles, the road from Bombay passes lower a wood cotton through a wide area of sanddunes. The dunes cover an area of approximately five square miles and are composed of extremely fine yellow sand. The sand is piled to a height of about two hundred feet in places and is bare of any vegetation whatever. Around the edges a giant grown of sword grass and desert serbenza occurs, and in the wood cottons through the dunes occasional mosquitoes are found. Trouble was experienced in a few places where sand had blown over and covered the road, and a heavy car rapidly loses traction after proceeding through it for a few feet. Several large lizards, almost the color of the sand were seen, but they were so deapt at concealing themselves that dodging into holes that it was difficult to get a shot at them. In places where the water in the loader wood cotton had cut into the sand could, immovable.

Inore 1831 Event Well 6030 ft R 15 E T 11 N Providence mts., Mohave Desert, San Bernardino Co., California May 27, 1931 had built homes. At Cima, 4204 ft., Joshua trees were found growing profusely, and the ground between the cactus was covered with dried wild greass and wild flowers of a great many forms. Arkansas Kingbirds were seen along the railroad, perched on the electric lights or telephone wires. From Cima we turned east and ran about four miles, passing through dense groves of Joshua trees, before we entered Cedar Canyon. Following up this canyon we arrived on a plateau where we found a government Bench mark "quintle alitude as 5867 ft. This plateau was covered with Artemesia and reminded me very much of the appearance of similar places in the Southern part of Nevada. Junipers and Pinyons dotted the hillside, and bird life was abundant. Five Mockingbirds were observed within an area of one square mile, and three others were heard singing within the same area. From the head of Cedar Canyon we turned south, going down Black Canyon. On a plateau at 5030 ft near Event Well we made camp. Mourning Doves flew around over head as we made camp and seemed almost unaware of our presence. Black throated Sparrows were abundant and one was shot that held a large, furry caterpillar in its beak.

Moore 1931, [illegible] 50 to 30 ft R.N.E., T.I.N. Providence Ints., Joshua Tree Desert, San Bernardino Co., California May 27, 1931 Although insects were extremely abundant, no bats or night hawks were seen during the course of the evening. As we made camp at 4:30 swarms of minute moths hovered about us and were quite annoying as they possessed a bite or sting that set up quite an irritation, especially on the underarm. Quail were heard calling in a wash bottom as the sun set. Redlands, &1700 ft. San Bernardino Co. California. May 26, 1931. We proceeded on to Redlands from Evans Well via Fenner, Ambrey and Victorville.—Ten live mouse traps set at Evans Well last night produced four Peromyscus m. sonoriensis, and one juvenile Notona desertorum, also a juvenile Peromyscus b. rowleyi. I attempted to bring two of the Peromyscus m. sonoriensis back alive in a well ventilated box, but as the temperature stood at 106° at Ambrey they were not able to withstand the heat and died before I reached home. The air was relatively cool where they were trapped and the soil was moist six inches under the surface. On a grassy slope near Evans Well I found a large burrow with soil piled up at its entrance that appeared as if a ground squirrel had been working there. A Phrynosoma was basking in the sun.

One Redtailed Hawk was heard soaring above a high cliff about a mile from Event Well, and a Swift was seen to leave the cliff as it approached but flew off so fast I was unable to identify it from a distance. About four miles west of Penner the Penner- Cinu shall branches and a well used road proceeds due west to Borrego Dry mine which I presume someone is working, from the appearance of the road. 4 3/4 Mi. N. San Bernardino /600 ft. San Bernardino Co., California June 1, 1931 Approximately seventy mouse traps set in an area of fine sand in a small cotton about two hundred yards long by sixty yards wide produced twenty-two animals in the following manner: 4 Dip.

moore. Lynx rufus californicus September 8, 1929 A single individual was observed about two miles north of Jadguty Valley, on the Idyllwild to San Gorgonio Peak Trail, at approximately 10:30 A.M. San Gorginto Mts., Riverside Co., Calif. The animal did not appear startled when observers approached, and made off up the hill at a gentle bad-like trot. The southeastern slope of the San Gorginto slope, is extremely rocky country, with large masses of granite rock projecting from the hillside every few hundred feet, and seems a very suitable place for these animals to live.

The wash bottoms leading down to the spring were heavily traveled by the quail, while the birds had come down early in the morning to drink at the spring. The surrounding hill-sides were covered with Pinyon, Joshua, and Juniper Trees, and back in among these trees the birds could be found during the warmer hours of the day.

The quail was fleeing with an excessive rate of speed down a forty mile an hour wind. When first seen, the quail was approximately one hundred yards off the ground and the hawk close behind and slightly higher. Neither seemed to be gaining ground on the other, and as the two approached the observer the hawk was shot, and the quail released high up on the slope among the pinyons and junipers. The hawk upon being skinned, proved to be in fine condition, and had evidently fed well on the large quail for some time.

Moore. Hylocichla guttata December 7, 1929 One individual was secured in Lincoln Canyon 1300 ft. Swomiss of Redlands, San Bernardino Co., California as it perched on a dead branch over the stream in the wash bottom. On Dec. 8 another individual was obtained about 1/4 of a mile further up the stream among the ferns and dead leaves in the creek bottom. The bird seemed very tame, and nonchalantly perched on a twig within fifteen feet of the observer. The intelligent looking white ringed eye of the bird scanned the observer interrogatively, and then the bird hopped down into the ferns and disappeared from sight, and could not be found after a quite diligent search of the surrounding territory in which it disappeared. These sagacious looking birds seem to fit in admirably with the quick morning atmosphere of a foggy day. Another bird was seen about the hunter's home in the city of Redlands, in company with a group of Song Sparrows, white crowned sparrows, and Anthony thrushes.
