Rorognathus californicus
May 28, Galilan Range, 1500ft, 5 1/2 mi. ENE Soledad, Monterey C.
The ? had 5,8 mm ears.
May 29, Four specimens were caught in the following
places in live traps: one in dense Adenostoma
on bare ground with no working present,
2 near holes at the edge of a small break
in the Adenostoma, and one at the edge of
the same break near freshly worked ground,
but with no hole present. The break
had the nature of a small meadow.
It was about 75 yds long and 10 yds
wide. Grass was growing in the middle as
well as a Bur like thistle and Yellow
Bloomeria. This meadow afforded
good food for small mammals and the
soil was bare around the edges of it for
3 or four yrs, before the Adenostoma
became dominant. This area contained
many holes and working. It was in this
area that the 3 live traps which caught
pocket mice were set. The one pocket
mouse caught in dense Adenostoma was
caught within about 10 or 8 yds of the break.
May 30, One immature ♂ was caught in a snap trap
set in a xerotus run on a grassy hillside
with many blue bushes and Adenostoma.
One adult ♂ was caught on a worked
mound under the Adenostoma surrounded
