31. San Felipe, S.H., Lower Calif., Mexico. April 3, 1926. of the sandy path in the shade by a slight movement of its head. Even after I had jumped about 8 ft aside it was content to stay there without moving or rattling until Lamb came up when it rattled & tried to escape. In four of the five case the rattlesnake did not sound any warning. Saw a male Surf Scoter the other day as it flew by along the beach. Heard a coyote howl just a few minutes ago in the first time since we have been here. The mammals that we have caught have been mainly immatures or one with broken skulls.
