Itinerary
Aug. 9
5½ mi. N San Bernardino, 1750 ft., San Bernardino Co., Calif.
Last night, drove north from San Bernardino
on "E" street across Shandii Hills, continuing north
to this locality which is at the base of the San
Bernardino foothills and about ½ mile east of the
mouth of Devil's Canyon. Set out 40 museum
special traps in a habitat of wild mustard, Artemesia,
and casti. Also a portion of the trap line ran
along an area where tin cans had been
dumped, and there was numerous sign of
Citellus beecheyi in this area. The traps were
placed in an east-west direction, 10 to 20
paces apart. Caught 2 Dipodomys agilis (♀♀)
and 2 Peromyscus maniculatus (♂♀, ♂; lock
juvenile). There was more sign of
Dipodomys than the catch indicated.
One Dipodomys was taken in a trap placed
in a burrow I broke into while walking
along. The other was taken under a bush
about 3½ ft. high (genus unknown), which
was rather isolated from thick brush. Both
of the specimens were undergoing a molt. The
weather was dry and warm.
½ mi. NE San Bernardino, 1100 ft., San Bernardino Co., Calif.
Set 8 gopher traps at this locality (with
the cooperation of Mr. Lewis Stones) which is
the premises of the San Bernardino City
