Tom Larson - 1947 Aug. 15 Port Elizabeth (Golf Course), 150 ft, Cape Prov. S. Afr. The golf course is located in the higher part of this seacoast city. It was bordered by pine trees to a large extent. The soil is a sandy loam. The green well-kept grass is ideal for moles. I set out a dozen special made spring mole traps. My method of setting the traps was thus: I found a fresh mole hill which still showed damp soil. I pushed aside the dirt until I found the hole leading into the tunnel. There is a short passage which leads into the main tunnel which is used to push out all dirt from the tunnel borings. I cut the turf away directly above the main tunnel passage and carefully set the trap in the passage in a way in which it was unavoidable for the mole to be caught. I then put grass over the trap and then soil. Often so soon as the mole feels the draft in his tunnel, he comes to investigate. I caught one mole rat (Georychus hottentotus) 230 231, 232 and two golden moles (Amblysomus hottentotus) one male and one female. Aug. 16 Caught two golden moles nos. 233 and 234, and two mole rats nos. 235 and 236. All specimens were preserved in alcohol. Today I watched moles working in the daylight. They were pushing dirt out of their tunnels. However
