Mennmller 1942 Neotoma March 31, Berglund Ranch, 1450ft., 5 mi. N Losaltos, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. While walking down the road thru second growth Redwood forest which goes between the Berglund and Cruz Ranches, we noticed several Woodrat houses on the ground in the ground cover. April 2, Mrs. Grinnell set 7 traps in the Redwood for Woodrats but was unsuccessful. April 5, Mud Creek, 800 ft., 3 1/2 mi. SW San Juan, Monterey Co. Let One trap set by Jean Boulware and I in ground cover under Live Oaks near a house was un sprung. We saw numerous houses house when we set out a line of Mouse traps along the fence next to the road and this habitat. There was dense ground cover under the live oaks here. Plants included here are: Poison Oak, Braken fern, Snowberry, Monkey flower, Artemesia, Baccharis Blackberry, Elderberry, and Coffeecherry. April 7, Muddy Creek, 1000 ft., 1 mi. S Chular Canyon, Monterey Canyon, Calif. One immature ? was caught in a Museum special trap at the bottom of a hillside covered largely with Black Sage or Salvia mellifera and Artemesia. The Specimen is 187 in my Catalogue. We were very surprised to catch it as no Woodrat house have been seen here by any of us. We have been trying to locate them especially.
