[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] Dec. 5 Caught a Perognathus in each of my two new traps & nothing in the other 13 cyclone traps. Caught a Dipodops a Dipodomys deserti (?). Made up skins & wrote some. A pleasant day. " [[ditto for: Dec.]] 6 Caught 3 Dipodomys deserti & some Dipodops & an Onychomys & a Spermophilus spilosoma. Made up skins & packed up & am ready to start for El Paso tonight. A warm, pleasant day, some cloudy. " [[ditto for: Dec.]] 7 Reached El Paso, Tex., at 6 A.M. Got breakfast & then went down to the river to see how deep the water was. Found the bed of the river dry & grown up to willows & weeds. That settles the boat trip. Got settled at a hotel, bought a trunk & some other things that I was in need of, made some traps & wrote letters, so did not get much time to hunt. A warm day but windy & dusty. The country is as dead & dry as it could well be.
