Mch. 29. Caught 2 Hesperomys, a Perognathus, & 2 Neotomas. Didnt get up till sunrise & by the time I had taken up the traps, got breakfast & packed up ready to start it was about 8 oclock. Ran steadily till about 5 P.M. & camped on West side of river in sight of Ft. Yuma. The river is broader & the current slower than above Canebreak Cañon. After passing a little Cañon at Castle Dome, the valley widens & is covered with cottonwood & brush. In places is 10 miles wide. Ran about 50 miles today in 9 hours. Set 21 traps. Saw no bats. The little bats seem to be common only in cañons or among rocks. A warm day. No signs of Musk Rats. [[end page]] [[start page]] [[right page blank]]
