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.
