General Account.
Dwight Way Hill, 650 ft., Berkeley,
Alameda Co., California.
Set four mouse traps in Microtus
runways in Puccinellia and Hordeum
grasses arounds base of Bachamus
brush. West facing slope. Here took
one immature & Microtus c. californicus
(No skin) and one & Reithrodonomys

Both caught in runway worn bare
by much use. Traps in new grassy
bottomed runway took nothing.

chaparral took one & (#9) of Peromyscus
c. californicus and Two Peromyscus

All traps oat + raisen bait.
Also set two rat traps by woodrat
nest. Oat bait taken but did not
