[[underlined] Mesilla Park [[/underlined]]
Drove out over the valley and around the experiment stations, agricultural college and Las Cruses. Then went back to the college and talked with Prof. Wooten till dark. Saw the collection of birds and mammals and plants and got some good plant names, and a few important records for birds and mammals. 

There were several skins of [[underlined]] Auriparus [[superscript]] 746 [[/superscript]] flaviceps [[/underlined]] from Mesilla and a skin of [[underlined]] Sigmodon berlandieri [[/underlined]] and one of [[underlined]] Nyctinomop [[/underlined]].  The odor of Nyctinomop was very strong in my room in the adobe hotel and as I passed some of the old adobe houses in Las Cruces. Bats were numerous in the evening, probably of this species.

Transcription Notes:
Reviewed and edited a couple of typos. -@siobhanleachman I changed "Nyctinomop" to [[underlined]] Nyctinomop [[/underlined]] at the end of the list of mammals.--thomasc Removed the "in pencil" from the superscript notation for 746 -@raferrante
