D.C. Zebia 1958 Sagdanus lathomus Strawberry Canyon, Besdley, Amigos Co., Mex. Mar 1 Saw fresh scat run in lawn on slope, camp shade just before snow cress (snow berry cress?) on N S. of or J.C. botanicon green fence. Had no more rag but set 2 mongoose gaiter traps in run and also 2 mus. specs. I Mus safe. This morning had dirt pushed on to it since, but where I had dug into run to three yards was left open though apparently had not wanted to use the old burrow line I had reburrowed (orana nite) under the rag. 1 Mi. W. Bolinas P.O., 1204 Ft. Marin Co. Calif. June 15 See notes + charts under these dates June 22 in Townsend June 24 I taken in Macabee had 2 small (1mm dia) ticks (not am.) on ball of right "hand" & 1 on back of lt. "hand." July 17 I in more year this am. Set trap in a fresh mole surface run about 8 or 10 days ago. [illegible] The run was used during the next night, as seen by fresh dirt piled up around edges of yard, but I had forgotten to release the safety catch so missed the animal. I released safety but got no catch with last nite. This mole also had small ticks on balls & "thumb cogs" of hands. Also 2 ticks on rt. knee root.
