Kaye - (1933. Santa Cruz, Calif., Dec. 8, '33. woods, the people living there. The scarcity of pack rats as compared to the number of good nests in the meadows was due also to the poison campaign. Sufficient data on the habits of the smaller mammals is contained in the daily notes. Pages 75 + 76 contain data w/results of the poison campaign. Pages 80, 81, + 82 contain life history notes on Neotamias quadrivittatus as compared to Neotamias merriami. A short history of the Walker Basin country is contained in pages 100 + 101. Probably the most interesting and surprising part of our mammal work lays in the fact of having caught seven different genera of mammals in a space no greater than 20 by 20 square feet! From this patch of tall, dead grass I took dipodomyys, micrastus, sorex, peromyscus, perognathus, withro- dontangys, thomomys. This area is described more fully on page 62.
