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.
