aye-1933
9 mi. S, 6mi. W, Chico, 100 ft., Butte Co., Calif.
Sept. 25, 1933.
I only got six specimens this
morning from my wooden traps that
were fit to put up- three microtus and
three neithrodontmys. The microtus
I got from the same place I got the
others, and the neithrodontmys were
collected from the line I had set
in our deer grovele.
Also this morning
I caught a small striped skunk in a
steel trap from the edge of Perkin's lake.
Another biryard got caught in one of my
steel traps set under heavy foliage at
the edge of the lake. Perhaps he finds his
food as much by odor as by sight.
This afternoon I set out another
line of mouse traps at Edely lake.
I set the line so that it took a
cross section through the fallen
timber on the line of junction with
the draw, and the draw itself.
I wished to see how far out into
the timber the microtus extended,
and how far into the draw the promogous
extended, or if there was any overlapping
at all.
Also this afternoon Bob shot two
brush rabbits, proving they are here.
Ward left this morning.
