6367 Rufous Hummer (male sign) im. 3.4g. Shot at blossoming
Salvia carnosum(?).
Put out 50 rat and mouse traps last night; 13

boylei and one P. truei; the rest, in dry situations,
chiefly under edges of granite boulders and adjacent
to scrubby rhamnus bushes, produced 5 P. truei.

I assume that Salvia carnosum(?) is now called S. carnosa. In one reference that I saw, the max altitude is 1500m which is much lower than this site.
#6368 168x82x21x17 has a tiny plus sign as a superscript to the right of 168 and 82
In Lamb's notes, he said that he had bout of malaria.
6369 - 6371 had ditto marks for the genus; 6369 and 6371 had dittos for the species. I inserted the actual words.
in the line "under willows along the stream" I read the verb as "brot" for "brought". He uses the same spelling in the same context several pages later.
