The Dipodomys were usually sub. ad. about even numbers of each sex. Of special interest was the Thomomys (sub. ad ♂) - an apparent case of dispersal - the nearest gopher diggings as far as we know are 1-2 miles S.W. of trapping site. The Perognathus were released, the live Dipodomys returned to lab for study. The remainder of the AM day was spent collecting insects. 11:30 - departed for home.
