Itinerary
The Santa Ana River flows into
Santa Ana Canon. The river here
is quite broad and shallow and
is rather slow running. The banks
are lined with Cottonwoods, Willows,
Cattails and grass. Set 50 gor. sized
mouse traps in grass and cattails
in marshy spots along the river.
Also set 40 traps in dry sandy
washes at the base of the hills.
Aug 14 Caught 3 Reithrodontomys in the 50
traps along the river and 1 Dipos-
donmys agilis in the 40 traps at
The base of the hills. These were
put up by C. Bailey, B. Palmer and
A.R. Mahurin.
1000 ft, 14 mi ENE Botanical Garden, Berkeley,
Alameda Co., Calif. Sept 28.
Went up Strawberry Canyon this evening
with D.H. Johnson. Went on up past Botanical
garden in the canyon shown on some maps
as Snowberry Creek. Set traps on the N side
of the canyon. The traps (40 gor. sized mouse
traps) ran in a line up the hillside thru
dry grass, Artemisia, bush lupine and
Poison-oak, and back down in a small
gully filled with Baccharus.
Sept 29
In the 40 traps caught: 3 Microtus o. Calif-
orius, 3 Peromyscus maniculatus,
