9 mi. E. of Boron, San Bernardino Co.,
2500 ft. California
19 January
0700 We arose (27° F) and checked traps
with following results:
2 Dipodomys merriami (2♀♀)
1 Ammosphephilus leucurus
Success = .3/294 ÷ < 1%
We layed out in the sun for awhile –
the day was beautiful. 1100 we left for
L.A. This was a great trip, even though
catches were poor.

2 mi. E. Searles Station, 9 mi. NNE Johannesburg,
San Bernardino Co. California, 3200 ft. “Camp 1”
I drove up (with Barron) early in the day

nearly full moon arose approx. 1500. I noticed
several lizards and numerous Meloid (?) beetles.

Trona Rd. It began to cool off quickly after
