Peromyscus maniculatus
Apr 21 Agua Hedionda, 32°30'N 116°16'W, Baja California
Had out 50 live and 50 museum special
mouse traps in dense growth of Adenostoma
sparsifolia. This was from 4 to 7 feet high with
bare lower limbs but growing close together.
Here and there were open spaces with sage
brush, and some manzanita and Ceanothus
was mixed in. (See journal). The snap traps
had 2♂,1♀ and 2 discarded. In the live
traps were 3 which were released.
June 18 San Jorge, 25°44'N, 112°09'W, Baja Calif.
Set out 115 traps, 50 live and the rest
museum specials, expressly to catch
Beithrodontomys. Part were among
bushes back of the beach, others along
the edge of the strip of mangroves running
along the shore or on the strip of tide
washed Salicornia behind; the rest by
dulce mangroves in back of the Salicornia.
(Fully described in journal). The ground
under most of the traps was muddy.
Caught 2♂,4♀ maniculatus, all in the
traps along the mangroves or in Salicornia
which had been washed over by the tide.
The mice were almost all dry.
June 19 Same location
This time had set 30 snap traps along
the edge of the mangroves as before,
