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:
