Longhurst 1939 Itinerary Oct.7 Huichica Cr. On the 6th At the ranch I also set out five sets of gopher traps in the orchard, one set of gopher traps in a mole run, and one mole trap in a mole run. The catch at the ranch was: Thomomys bottae 2♀ Scapanus latimanus 1♂ The mole was caught in a gopher trap set at the edge of the orchard in a mole run. The knoll in the marshes has numerous signs of Microtus workings and also many Rabbit trails among the grass and Baccharis. I pick up the skull of a rabbit - apparently that of a Sylvilagus. Oct.8 Huichica Cr. The four sets of #2 steeltraps were left out in the same locality over the night of the 7th and in one a ? Sylvilagus sp.? was caught. It had apparently gotten in the trap by accident and not because of the garden bait. The trap was set almost directly upon a rabbit trail!
