W.C.Russell M.V.Z. Berkeley, Calif. Jan 30 1960 Returned to study area W of Tomales to try and get live moles. Figured on digging out with shovel when I saw them working. However there was very little late afternoon working today. One simply cannot work with a lantern or head lamp at night. It's too difficult to distinguish fresh from old workings with a light. A pea soup fog came in soon after dark so I couldn't even see my light sticks. Jan 31 1960 Light rain at 5:30 A.M. so by daylight couldn't tell which were the freshhest mounds. Found a ♀ pushing dirt up beside 2 2x4s. Flipped over the sticks and caught her with my hands. Her tubes showed practically no enlargement. Again a [illegible] [illegible]. Now find she had large milk glands so has had young not many days ago. 13664 3 mi. W Tomales, Marin Co., Calif. Skull only 13664 ♀ Scapanus large milk glands - had young tubes small. 185-32-20 98.1g. She only lived over night & died next day.
