Aug. 13, Mr. Woodard believes that the relative scarcity of wood rats in the traps can be explained by the fact that fruit is so abundant now, i.e., manzanita, poison oak and other berries, that they will not take dried oatmeal and grain. However, if this be so, why wouldn't they take the dried prune bait? I found another bat, genus mystis, hanging in the barn. This is now preserved as a study skin. No other bats, other than those of the above genus, have been seen flying about in the evenings. This afternoon, because of pressure of time, we must leave this region. I would like to spend a week here now to devise and test some ways of capturing more of the animals present here. No kangaroo rats, chip- munks, skunks, and coyotes have been caught though have been heard or seen. At 1 P.M. we leave for Yosemite via the Wawona road.
