Perognathus c. californicus.
900 ft., North Fork of Strawberry
Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co.,
Calif.

Trap set under Old Man Sage
(Artemesia californica) on dry
gravelly ground. Hillside rather
steep slope with south exposure
Mar. 14.
600 ft., North Side of Claumont
Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
Took one S (#16) in oat baited
rat trap set in the entrance to an
abandoned ground-squirrel burrow.
The burrow was on rather steep
gravelly bit of hillside facing
southwest. Surrounding vegetation
was mainly Artemesia and Bachaus
with grass. The mouth of the burrow
had grown up to weeds but fresh dirt
about the mouth indicated recent work.
Mar 16.
650 ft., North Side of Claumont Canyon,
Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
Took one S (#20) at the mouth of
a burrow beneath the overhanging
edge of a large boulder. The burrow
was about 1 1/2" by 2", and the entrance
was filled with grass. In his cheek
pouches were several seeds of some grass,
apparently Bromus. Tail enlarged.
