In P.M. went out among the mesquit brush E. of town. Found a few birds & killed a Thyrothorus, found holes & tracks of the big Dipodomys & some little Perognathus holes. Saw lots of Rabbits of both kinds. Saw a Coyote in morning, but not near enough for a shot. 
Warm in morning & warm all day.

" [[ditto for Dec.]] 4 Caught a Geomys & 2 Dipodops. Took up traps & in P.M. set them out on higher grounds east of town. Shot a Spermophilus spilosoma. Have had 33 traps set for a week & have not lost one. 
Tried remodeling some cyclone traps so as to catch Perognathus. They are afraid of traps & dont care for bait.
