Palmer 1936 Feb 16 cont'd. Itinerary /mid/ Summit Mt Diable, 3000 ft. (cont'd.) Tuei, 1♂, 1♀; Peromyscus maniculatus, 5♂, 4♀; Reithrodontys m. longicaudus, 1♂, 1♀. In the rat trap caught 1 ♀ Peromyscus californicus. We had hoped to get Dipodomys here, but apparently the weather conditions are rather poor for them. Altho we saw numbers of burrows, the only ones taken were 2 caught by Johnson on the tilltop just n of my trapline. On the way back to Berkeley, saw 2 deer and several ground squirrels below the 2800 ft level. The only birds seen around the trap- line were Horned Larks which flew about in the fog. Further down the mountain saw California Jays, Western Bluebirds, Juncos and a Red-tailed Hawk. Near the base of the mountain were many Lark Sparrows, Flickers and several Sparrow Hawks.
