Leach caught 5 like 370, 1 like 364. In grass
cought 3# like 364, 1 like 370. Some were still warm,
2 were still alive. Looks like we lost some info.
(see chart previous page) - but generally the proper
mice like 364 seem to be more diurnal & to stick
more strictly to grass.

along trail thru dense forest. Caught 1 molossid
& 1 mozasid, 10 PM - air temp 68F. clearing

was moving in a cleared area along the
edge of the forest. One false geocronog # 397
