V. Memmler 1942 Sylvilagus April 2, Berglund Ranch, 1450 ft. Santa Cruz Co. 5 mi. N Corralitos, Calif. One immature Sylvilagus was caught in one of 96 traps set along the margin of dry chaparral covering a hillside above an apple orchard. The traps were near the ridge of the hill where the habitat changed from chaparral to meadows. In setting out our traps we noticed many apparent rabbit runs with characteristic droppings. The margins of the chaparral was dominated by tall Baccharis sp. bushes, about 7 ft. tall.
