R. Zweifel Pituophis catenifer annontine 328 Paso Priacho Camp, Cusamaca Rancho State Park, San Diego Co., Calif. July 29, 1951 Cries of "rattlesnake" brought me scurrying to a spot where a [illegible] small (SV 490—) gopher snake was hidden in a creck in a small loneliness swallowing a large adult Peromyscus leucopus. Even though rather roughly captured and handled, and carried about in a truck, the snake con- tinued to swallow the mouse, finishing in about 1/2 hour. The mouse was half down when the snake was captured. The snake was first seen about 1:00 PM Aug. 1, 1951 An adult found coiled beneath a log at the edge of the meadow about 10:00 am
