30. Killed only a cottontail, [[underline]] L. baileyi [[/underline]] which I intended to make up, but a cat got it in my room and spoiled it. I skinned it to eat and was going to save the skull, but laid it down while I carried in the meat & as I turned around a stray gray hound grabbed the head & ran. Got back at 1P.M. & didn't go out again. Wrote on my reports which I keep bringing up to date as fast as I can. Got my poison & bait from the Northwestern Hide & Fur Co. but my castoreum from St. Louis has not come. A cold morning but warm day & thawing fast in P.M. Snow about a foot deep. Bare patches coming through on ridges & sidehills.
