Hoffmeister 1939 Itinerary July 25 5 1/2 mi. N Paseo, 500 ft., Franklin Co., Wash. Johnson and I drove north from Paseo last night and set traps at the locality designated as 5 1/2 mi. N Paseo, 500 ft., Franklin Co., driving here via highway U.S. 395, and turning east off this highway about 5 miles north of Paseo. This country is a plains type at an elevation of about 500 feet, and is only broken by a few low rolling knolls. Most of the country seems to have been burned at one time, and is now regrown with thistle or tumble weed, but I set traps on an unburned area, which Brysothamnia consisted of well spaced bushes of Petrachia, Artemisia, and barley. The soil is sandy, not hard packed, grayish in appearance, and well cut by new and old burrow systems. Set museum special traps and caught 6 Cerognathus parvus (6♂, 3♀), of which 3 were very young. Johnson set traps in both the burned-regrown area and the primitive original area. All over the area, there were numerous Mormon crickets, and at least 2 of my traps were sprung by them, as they were still in the trap. Later, collected 6 Myotis at the Hoodo Dairy barn 1 mi. N Burtank. July 26 1mi E and 4 mi S Dixie, 4300 ft., Walla Walla Co., Wash. Broke camp along the Snake River about 3 P.M. yesterday and drove to Paseo for
