Mephitis different from anything I remember ever having seen before, - 
the general color being black with white beginning on the "back of neck 
and extending back on top about to shoulders,- a few white hairs cm 
sides and a few down middle of forehead. Caught small Dipodcws here 
olear down into the sand in the bed of the rivox* where I never found 
them before. Per odious and large Dtoodcacrs do not seem to occur here. 
Pin lio fusous is ooBsaom, this being the first place I have soon it.

Auriparus flaviceps this morning hopping and searching about from twig
