A.C.Ziegler 1957 TWO-MANYS BOTTAE SURON RANCH, 3400+ FT. 3 MILE MONTECITO Cr., P.O., SANTA CRUZ CO., CALIF. STEP 1 4 IN OPEN FIELDS WITH SOME CROPS IN MEADOWS. GROWING WITH LITTLE OF NO ROCKS. STEP 2 "" 1 RUN SEEN IN DUSKY PLOWED OR DISCED FIELD, 2 OF THESE 4 CAUGHT IN THIS 1 RUN.) +300' FT. BUTT CREEK, 8 MI. S CHICAGO, PALOS CO., CALIF. STEP 4. 1 IN DRIEST PART OF MEADOW NEAR BASE OF CONIFER SHOES. TRAPS SET IN OTHER RUNS ON SAME SIDE OF CREEK FOR 7 DAYS GOT NO OTHER BOTTHORS. (DR. BENSON HAS ALREADY CAUGHT 1 HERE), DR. B. ALSO CAUGHT SOME MORE SMALL ONES IN SAME HABITAT BEYOND CREEK. SEEMS AS IF THIS COUNTRY WOULD SUPPORT MANY MORE BOTTHORS THAN WERE PRESENT ON MEADOW EDGE ON ONE SIDE OF CREEK. A LARGE GRASSY ISLAND OR PREDOMINANTLY AN ISLAND HAD NO MOUNDS AT ALL ON IT ANDTO GAVRIEL COULD HAVE REACHED IT ON DRY LAND MOST OF TIME, NO MOUNDS SEEN ON DRY CONIFER SLOPES. BECAUSE OF THESE FACTS I'S SUSPICIOUS FOR MONICOLA BUT ANIMAL THEMSELVES DO NOT LOOK LIKE BOTTAE ACCORDING TO DR. BENSON (EYES SMALL, TAIL LONG ETC.)
