A.C. ZIEGER 1958 LARIIVUS CINEREUS H MI. E HAYLAND, 1000 FT, MENDOCINO CO., CALIF. APR 10. 2 SHOT BY DR. CARL S. VOGEL AT OURD OUTSIDE HIS HOME AT ABOVE LOCALITY. HE SAID HE HAD SHOT ANOTHER, I THINK, THE NIGHT BEFORE. I seem to remember him saying it was a ? but I might be mislead. The former 2 were O>, testes 1 1/2 x3 mm, and with what apparently were seminiferous vessels fairly large + almost clear. At base of each of these vessels was a round, flesh-colored body. The testes were elongate and practically out in the thin membrane. No fat noticed on either animal. Seminiferous vessels + the round glands (?) near their bases twice normal size, ventral view: ↑ ANTERIOR VESICLE (CLEAR) GLAND (?) (FLESH-COLORED) BLADDER OVIDUCT (W/MEMBRANE) NO GADIOMIS-LIKE BODIES NOTICED ON OR NEAR TESTES. PUT UP MAY 27 Ree'd 6 more for MUZ from DR. Vogel shot between APR. 12 and MAY 19 THIS YEAR. THE 1 ♀ HAD AN SWELLING AT UPPER END OF RT. UTERINE HORN WHICH DR. BENSON THOUGHT POSSIBLY COULD HAVE BEEN A NEWLY-IMPLANTED EMBRYO. HE SAID ♀ SHOULD BE PREGNANT AT THIS TIME OF YEAR. O> SHOWED 1 1/2 X 4+ mm TESTES AT EDGE OF INTERFEMORAL MEMBRANES, EPIDIOMIS THREADING. OTHER GLANDS AS IN ABOVE.
