Longhurst 1939 Itinerary Sept. 21 Huichica Cr., 200 ft., Napa Co., Calif. This afternoon I drove up from MVZ to my home at the above locality. I caught 1 ? Reithrodonmys megalotis in a hay field under some bales of hay. In the evening I made 5 sets of gopher traps in a pear orchard and also set 5 mouse traps in the basement of the house to get Mus. 35 more mouse traps were set along the Cr., baited with oatmeal and irregular distances apart. They were set, for the most part, along the high banks under oaks, blackberry vines, and other underbrush. Some, however, were set at the water's edge. Sept. 22 Huichica Cr.
