W.C. Russell M.V.Z., Berkeley, Calif. Feb 12 1960 Returned to mole study area in afternoon arriving at 3 P.M. Made 8 live can trap sets! This time using a cover on back end of trap to exclude air and also packing trap with soil around a round stick. When stick is removed it leaves a burrow 1 1/2" diam sunning through the dirt the length of the traps. Hoping to get the mole to use this feeler hole rather than push dirt at the trap. Practically no late afternoon working. By dark had caught 1? in a can trap. Started to rain gently in early part of night. 3 mi. N Tomales, Marin Co., Calif. 13666 ♀ Scapanus alive Feb 22 70.4g. 79.9g Mar 4 66.1 Feb 13 1960. Skull only 13667 ♀ Scapanus. 4 emb x 15mm Emb given to Ziegler for slide 186-35-22 no wet, as embs were removed in field. This mole accidentally killed with shovel. It had plugged a burrow I had opened. I started to reopen burrow to set a trap and since there was no ground movement was answer the mole was there. Plunk! I hit him!
