Gilmore 1426 El Mayor, 30 ft. Hardy River, Lower Calif. Mexico. April 26. ready to lay from examination of the specimens taken. One of the steel sets was sprung this morning probably by a coyote. According to the natives and people living down here there are Kit and Red Foxes, Civet Cats, Hornles Badgers and Coyotes with in all probability a few Lions. One Indian brought in an old skin of a Red Fox. Besides the Helgidosterys serripinnus, two three Petrochlidum limifons L were seen. Last night while running the trap line about 9:00 P.M. I saw a Homed Owl which was sitting on a thicket of brush about 10 ft from the ground watching over a small field. He flew when I approached within about 30 yds & flashed the flash light at him.
