Oct. 25 Caught a Hesperomys sonoriensis & two eremicus & 2 Onychomys & 2 Thomomys.

Went up to top of a high hill about 4 miles N.E. of the hotel. The barometer registered 2950 feet at starting at 8 A.M., & on the peak at 11:30 4550 feet.

The hill is rather bare & stony without trees. Fouquerie splendens & Agavias & Cacti & Yuccas are common on it. Saw one Deer near the top & tracks of more.
