Hunted down the valley in Mexico till noon. Got each a Spermophilus gram. & some lizzards & birds. Got treed by an old cow that thirsted for our blood. Saw some small flocks of Longspurs & some Jays. also a Falco mexicana. Skinned our specimens after [[strikethrough]] dinner [[strikethrough]] noon & were at the bull ring at 4 P.M. but were told that the fight would be tomorrow or Sunday. Oct. 18 Reached Callabasas at 10:30 A.M. & secured lodging & got our trunks open & all settled by noon. Hunted & set traps in P.M., found lots of holes of Dipodops & some small holes. Killed some birds. shot at bats in the evening but did'nt get any. We have a good place to work, the flats all around are covered with weeds or grass & there is a small creek & some ponds. Along the hills are lots of Mesquit trees & some cottonwoods on the flats.
