Ribble, D.O. 1984 Peromyscus californicus 46 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif July 21 This PM on GRID RC we caught 1587, ?, SAD, st 5,17 with Blue-Green (continuation) visible in her ears. This PM we also set up a dyadic encounter between O?0110 and Lab F 1491 between station 7,12 and 6,12. (O?0110 was caught at 7,12 and we set up the arena at the nearest flat spot). F-1491's smear this am was 80% leukocytes and 20% nucleated epithelial cells. July 22 Returned to do the test at 0450h. She O? had dug under the divider and both mice were on the same side - We pulled out the divider and watched them for 20min. They remained huddled with the F on the back of the male for the entire 20min - obviously this test stinks. At death the F's smear indicated 85% leukocytes, 15% nucleated epithelial cells with no sign of sperm. This AM on the GRID we dusted F 1364, post-lact, st 6,13 with Golden Brown. #1708? O' lumm, TND. 15.5g. Ear-tagged. (GRID RC, st 4,10.5. Cell tissues. Coved with ORANGE powder -- offspring of F-020. Knockdate of birth between 25-27 June - 25 days old [calculated 25] This PM on GRID MC we dusted F-020, 40g, mp, st 10,6 with PURPLE powder; F-1497, 38g, mp, st 9,12 with Blue-GREEN; and F-1409, 42.5g, post-lact (very weak), st 8,17 with GREEN powder. #17089? F lumm, multiparae. 17.5g. Ear-tagged and toe-clipped (#046). GRID MC at 8,17. Cell tissues. No sign of powder, but must be offspring of 1460 based on locality Yes! see 24 July note. July 23 This AM on GRID MC we dusted F-0169, 42g, mp, st 8,4 with RED; and F 1351 37.5g, mp, st 10,9 with ORANGE. This PM in GRID MC we caught O? 1480, TND, st 9,10 covered with ORANGE powder July 24 This AM on GRID MC we caught O?1464, st 10,15 coved with visible Blue-Green; O?040, st 10,48 with GREEN visible in his ears
