Aug. 31 Blacks Rock Spring, 4500 ft., San Bernardino Co., Calif.
ground. After supper, returned [illegible] to
vicinity of spring with Jerry Russell. Saw
a large bat (est. 12" + wing span), and
took 2 Poorville on the road. Several
large, active-looking Woodrat nests
near in mesquite near spring.
Sept. 1 50 Museum Specials set last night
from vicinity of spring in line running
roughly N.-S. about 50 yds. W. of road.
Took 5 Perognathus fallex and one
(im.) Peromyscus crinitus. Bob Norris
set 50 traps (in similar orientation
to road?) S. of camp in higher
country; he took one Dipodomys merriami,
1 Perognathus longimembris, and
1 Peromyscus truei. Jerry Russell and
I hunted toward and around the
spring in the A.M. The steel trap set at
the road fork (quail bait) had been
dug out of spring, and the bait stolen.
Apparently an experienced coyote was
responsible. Left the area untouched;

nearby, using the exposed trap plus

we flushed another deer - a doe.
The steel trap at the spring had been.
