ledge at top of big gully, on E side. He was
pulling back under when I spotted him, and
rattled very briefly. There is a Netoma nest under
the ledge; at 0944 hr, as we walked E, we saw

the signal of C. molossus #11 to a hole under a
bush x 50m N. of the road and x 250m W. of the
Forest Service Boundary. At 1046 hr we found C.
molossus ♀ #12 roched into a cavity under Opuntia
pads, x 2m from where she was heard yesterday.
After lunch preserved a young ♂ C. molossus found
in a shed a week or so ago at the Forest Service
Visitor Center.

♀ #14 from the same hole under rock where I left
