Soorex
April 2, Berglund Ranch, #8/450ft., 5 mi. N Corralitos, Santa Cruz Co., Calif.
One Soorex of questionable sex was caught in a trap line of 96 traps set along a margin of dry chaparral quite open near the edges and consisting here largely of Baccharis.
April 5, Mud Creek, 800 ft., 3 1/2 mi. SW San Juan, Monterey Co., Calif.
Two Soorex, one a q, were caught in a live oak habitat. One was at the base of a hill where ground cover was very dense and wet. The other farther up the slope where chaparral was dominated by Artemesia.
April 9, Muddy Creek, 1000 ft., 1 mi S Chualar Canyon, Monterey Co., Calif.
One o' Soorex, evidently breeding as testis were found to lie outside abdominal cavity, was caught in a museum special trap in short grass under Black Sage and Artemesia. Soil is gravelly and sandy.
