Tom Larson, 1948-1949 Note Re Tom Larson's Original Catalogue (To be retained in his original catalogue). 1. When the original catalog for Nos. 1 thru 2551 inclusive was received, the pages for numbers 2008-2071 inclusive were missing. 2. T.L.'s numbers 2072 through 2551 inclusive (unlike all specimens prior at least No. 2007) were already on paper supplied by Univ.Calif., Mus.Vert.Zool., (or better reasonable facsimiles of same) and were, therefore, inserted into the proof read copy of the original made for the use of, & permanent retention by, M.V.Z. Original Catalogue had ever been received by M.V.Z. for specimens with numbers higher than 2551. (S) J. Leveraid. Aug. 9, 1951. Museum Technician, Mus. Vert. Zool.

Information Regarding Specimen Catalogue of Thomas J. Larson (Aitkin, Minn., U.S.A.) The following Catalogue of Tom Larson's African Collection is a proof-read copy of his original catalogue, which was not made up on M.V.Z. paper nor in the M.V.Z. style. Numbers 230 through 1542 (i.e., pages 1 thru 57) were copied by Tom Larson and sent to M.V.Z. It was noted that in some cases Larson added some information in the copy which did not occur in the original; at other times he frequently omitted information from the copy, primarily natural history observations, which was present in the original. Therefore: Larson's copy was proof-read against the original at M.V.Z. in Aug. 1951 by J. Cleveraid and P. Bloedel. It was our goal to accurately make the copy identical to the original as possible. Consequently, we added to the copy that additional information found in the original (including in many cases changes & errors as originally recorded and altered); we did not delete anything added by Larson; and, in many cases we added within brackets certain locality data and comments, known to be right but not stated in total by Larson either in the original or the copy. Note: Tom Larson's numbers 1 through 98 and new series numbers 1 through 227 were collected by him in Guatemala, Central America between Mar. 24, 1946 and July 20, 1946. The numbers 228 and 229 were collected and prepared at M.V.Z., Berkeley, Calif. in 1947. All are recorded in the same original catalogue by African specimens. Note 2: the front cover of Larson's original catalogue bears the following statements: "Field Journal of Mammals of E.E. Peters, Guatemala" "Mar. 24, 1946 - August 1946; ... "South" African Expedition, August 1947-July 1948." "Actually, these collections were made in 1948 but in 1951 (see)... (over)

"Specimen Catalogue" Information Regarding (P.2). Tom Larson Consequently, this proof-read copy of the original is in actuality not only as accurate and serviceable as the original, but in many cases it is more serviceable. This catalogue starting with No. 1543 thru No. 2007, was copied by J.H. Severa from Larson's original during Aug. 1951, the copy being made as identical as possible with respect to data but in the M.V.Z. style of arrangement and again using brackets to include locality information not originally included by T.L. but known to be correct based on entries elsewhere in his notebook, or as taken from 1951 National Geographic maps. No catalogue for T.L.'s original Nos. 2008-2071 had been received from T.L. as of August 9, 1951 so we have no record of these 64 specimens yet (except that a partial catalogue could be made up, if necessary, from the specimen labels on those specimens received from T.L. by M.V.Z.) The catalogue for T.L. numbers 2072 through 2551 inclusive was supplied to us by Larson and is undoubtedly the original record of these specimens. If for any reason these do not stay at M.V.Z. they should be replaced by a proof-read copy. T.L.'s Catalogue for specimen No. 2552 through his last African specimen no. (at least thru No. 4292, which is the highest # of a specimen received by M.V.Z. to date) had not been received as of Aug. 9, 1951. J.Harold Severa Aug. 9, 1951.

"Specimen Catalogue" Tom Larson, 1948 & 1949 "Note" The following series of specimens, numbers inclusive, 2072 through 2551, are believed to represent Larson's original catalogue for these specimens. Since they were ~~~~ already on M.V.3. type paper (or a reasonable facsimile of same), they were not recopied. However, if for any reason this section of Larson's original catalogue should not remain permanently at M.V.3., then a proof-read copy of it should be made before releasing it from M.V.3. J.Heverard.

"Specimen Catalogue" Tom Larson, 1949-1951. Note: As of August 9, 1951, Miss. Vert. Zool. had never received T.L.'s original catalogue for African specimens with numbers higher than 2551. But M.V.Z. has received specimen with original numbers as high as 4292, and it is known that Larson continued collecting in Africa at least until about midyear 1951. If & when the rest of his original catalogue is received, it should be either added to this M.V.Z. catalogue (if on M.V.Z. paper) or recopied in the M.V.Z. style, proof-read, and the proofread copy made a part of this M.V.Z. catalogue. (J.H.S.) J. Harold Severaid M.V.Z., Aug. 9, 1951.

Notice: As nearly as we can tell, Larson ceased collecting for the University of Calif. African Expedition at this point and began collecting specimens on his own for sale to museums. The specimens we thus purchased from him are listed under acc. 8139 & start with T.L. Orig. No. (1) 1564. [See next page.] Although we've been able to obtain any specific information from Larson as to where the accessions should be divided, the above choice is made on the following evidence: 1. We received almost every specimen collected by T.L. up to this point. 2. We received only a small fraction of his specimens collected after this point. 3. Almost all of the early specimens (cont. next page).

Note re Accn. 7886 + Accn. 8139. Catalogue of Specimens Actually Received from Tom Larson Southern Africa subsequent to #1563 carry a dual series of numbers such as "12" on one side of label & "1575" on the other. Projected backwards this means that 1 = 1564 (the assumed starting point for Accn. 8139) 2 = 1565, etc. 4. By association with dates on labels it was noted (just as an example) that some of the specimens catalogue numbers higher than 1564 contained collection dates considerably or significantly earlier than some of the specimens we had already received with catalogue #s under T.L. 1563. Hence, by assumption, Larson kept out a representative series of specimens while working for the U.C. African Exped. (which incidentally was presumably his privilege) and gave them a separate temporary series of numbers starting with #1, probably with the intent of either keeping a collection of his own or selling them privately to some other museum. At any rate he apparently (even obviously) did not enter them in his regular catalogue at the time they were collected. Then as soon as M.V.Z. began buying specimens from him Larson catalogued his private specimens starting with (1) 1564, (2) 1565, (3) 1566, etc. Thus, many such combined #s appeared on specimens M.V.Z. received from him and all of which are entered in our separate Accn. #8139.

Original Label #5: 1550 Note: Re all specimens with numbers prior to (or less than 1564, see Accn. 7886 on earlier pages. Accession 8139 (=specimens purchased from T.L. by M.V.Z.) starts (by assumption and logical deduction) with specimen or orig. no. 1564. See explanatory note on two preceding pages. (S) J.H. Leveraid. P.S. Three specimens rec'd. in early shipments of accn. 8139 that had collecting #s. less than 1564 were transferred to Accn. 7886, where they belonged, inasmuch as the matching skulls to most of them had already been received in an Acc. 7886 shipment. Note, 5/11/51: T.L.'s catalogue uses the following "heading" for specimens collected following # 1563, i.e., starting Mar. 25, 1948: "SPECIAL MAMMAL COLLECTION FOR AFRICAN STUDIES" However, this #1563 was collected on Nov. 1, 1948 so there is an overlapping of dates, between Mar. 25 + Nov. 1, 1948, for the two accessions.

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

Tom Lawson -1947 2. Most of this digging activity is done at night and early morning. The dirt piles of the material were made at intervals of about 100 or more feet apart. The piles averaged about 6 to 10 inches high. The tunnel can easily be traced by these mounds of earth. When the mole is traveling to new feeding grounds his tunneling is just rapid. No speed on succulent roots. Many moles were still alive when I took them from the traps. They have tiny pinkish sized white eyes. They are game little fighters and make a chattering squeaking voice when irritated. They leap out at you several inches and open their mouths widely trying to catch you with their long sharp teeth. They are capable of inflicting a deep bite and will hang on like a bull dog as I learned on several occasions. Their vision is very poor but their sense of smell keen. If left alone they will travel slowly on the surface or immediately start digging. The tunnels usually run about six inches to a foot or more below the surface. They have numerous side tunnels which charge off the main trunk. The golden mole takes much of the blame for the damage done by the moles. It is an insect eater and does not eat vegetation.

Tom Larson - 1947 The golden mole burrows 3 or 4 inches below the surface and throws up a smaller pile of dirt than the mole rat. The heaps are generally 3 or 4 feet apart. When caught alive he utters faint squeaks and tries to burrow into the ground. He is completely blind on the surface of the ground. There are many side entrances to his tunnels. You can tell the direction of his travels by observing the fresh digging. He will often work during the day enlarging his tunnel or hunting for worms and insects. Aug. 17 Six mole rats were taken today nos. 235, 236, 237, 238 and 239, 240, and 241. 239 had 4 embryos which were preserved in alcohol. Aug. 18 Two mole rats were caught - nos. 242 and 243. 243 had 3 embryos preserved in alcohol. Aug. 19 Three golden moles were caught nos. 244, 245, 246. The bodies were preserved in alcohol. A Blesmole (Georychus copensis) no. 247 was caught and 252 were taken. Seven mole rats nos. 249, 250, 251, 253, 254, 255, and 256. The testes of no. 252 were enlarged. The Blesmole digs a wider tunnel and throws up larger mounds than the mole rat, and his

Tom Lawson - 1947 speed of digging is greater due to the fact he is a larger animal. They do greater damage to roots than the smaller closely related mole- rat. The general pattern of the tunnels are the same however. All these moles prefer the well watered grass of the golf course and lawns to the drier grass off the greens. They do a great deed of damage in South Africa & they have small beady eyes like the mole rat. general pattern of tunnel and mounds.

Tom Larson Port Nolloth, Namaqualand, Cape Province, South Africa July 5 1949 This Atlantic Coastal area is a desert region which runs inland about thirty miles to the foothills and mountains. Sand dunes run along the coast, and behind these a sparsely vegetated area occurs. The plants are succulent and desert resistant plants which grow in patches. As you go further inland the patches of plant or individual plants grow closer together and are larger. Even though one would think this desert area quite devoid of animal life it is not ttrue. Before setting traps for small mammals, I made a brief preliminary survey of an area three miles north of Port Nolloth. Rodent and shrew tracks were evident in great abundance. I found the burrows of Littlehales' Bush Otonys. These animals live in colonies with interconnecting tunnels. They push refuse from the tunnel in front of the entrance. Little paths lead from the burrows to the feeding areas. Their rats live on the leaves of the succulent plants which they store up in the tunnels. The tunnels run several inches below the ground and cause safely when you walk over them. I set out traps in two colonies using burned peanuts for bait. I also set out traps around piles of small twigs. These piles which range from a few inches to several feet are constructed by rodents. What species, I do not know so yet.

Tom Larson 2. July 5 1949 Port Nolloth, Namaqualand, Cape Province, S. Afr. A number of species of rodents and shrews inhabit these piles for the dung of numerous species are found around the house entrances. The stick piles are honey combed with burrows. One gerbil No. 2211 ♂ was caught in a trap set under a bush. A shrew and one specimen of Black-eared Elephant shrew were caught - Nos. 2212 ♀ and 2213 ♂. I was prevented from revisiting this area to trap because it is a diamondiferous area. Police followed my tracks, but the many traps assured them of my good intentions. July 6 1949 Von Heever Farm, 5 mi. E. Port Nolloth elevation 10-20 ft. Set out traps here under small bushes - caught only one small gerbil No. 2214 ♀. Van Neewer, an ancient shaggy haired man, a real desert rat, caught one Grant's golden mole form, (Eremotopa granti). These tiny moles are a beautiful light bluish/grey, some have a slight golden tinge. They also called creep mole by Van Neewer. They move quite rapidly just under the surface of the sand. By moving against the grain they are able to get now dry. Their trail looks much like that of a large worm as they twist around the field. When escaping danger they dig deep into the sand faster than you can dig them out. Often this creep dive under a small bush. Van Neewer saw they are not

Tom Lorson July 6 1949 Port Nolloth, Van Heever Farm (10-20 ft. elevation) active at night and in the early morning. When captured alive they are very active in their attempts to escape. They scratch and claw wildly with their sharp little digging claws. July 7 7 mi. E. Port Nolloth, (30-40ft) Set out 55 mouse and rat traps around the stick piles and by the burrows of the Bush Stomps. Though their are rodent tracks in great abundance it is very hard to catch them on mealie-meal or meat. Saw numerous mouse and elephant shrew runways which go from one clump of sticks to the next and out to the feeding grounds under succulent bushes. Caught a striped-mouse No. 2216 ♂ by the stick piling, also two gerbils Nos. 2217♀ and 2218♂. The colored people of this area also call this gerbil the (Magmouse). Caught the two gerbils in traps by the stick piles. July 8 Today I caught two gerbils Nos. 2225♀ and 2226 ♂. Van Heever caught one large Namaz- island sand male No. 2229 ♀ and Julie small Grant's golden males Nos. 2220♀, 2221♂, 2222♀ 2223♂, 2224♂. July 9 Tried a new bait today which was a mixture of raisins, peanut butter and oatmeal. Caught four beautiful Elephant Shrews Nos. 2230♀, 2231♀, 2232♀, 2233♂. Also caught two Littledeko's Bush Honey Nos. 2227♂ and 2228♀. Saw several Curious Stomps watching me in front of their

Tom Lorson July 9 7 mi. E. Port Nolloth, Namaqualand, S. Africa Holes. Was able to walk up within 10 feet of several before they darted into their dens. A few seconds later, as I moved away, they peered up at me in an amusing manner. Tomorrow they are going to be surprised when I shoot them... You can hear their high pitched warning whistles. Van Heever caught a young Namaqualand bank- mouse form - No. 225970. July 10 Today I caught three Black-eared Elephant shrews off traps set with peanut butter, raisins, and oatmeal. Nos. 223587, 223607, and 223707. All the shrews were caught around the brush piles built by the Namaqualand Stomys. Catched one Stomys No. 123407. Burneda brush pile but no rodents came out even though there was plenty of evidence of life. Tails lead into the pile and dung was plentiful. The Stomys build stick piles in the branches of small bushes - either to got at the succulent leaves of the plant or to make nests to live in. Food is brought into the piles. It's a tremendous piece of work for small rodents to build these huge piles with small branches and twigs. Interconnecting runways tunnel from brush pile to other piles, to fleeing grounds and to their ground burrows. Lawler Stomys setting for its fate. Shot at it with dust shot but it escaped. Will set traps tomorrow.

Tom Larson 5. July 11 Port Nolloth, Namaqualand, S. Africa Caught one gerbil, No. 1238♀ and two Stomp Nos. 1239♀ and 1240♂. One Stomp was sitting dead in his hole. I think I hit him yesterday both bush shot and he came out of the ground to die. Reset my traps further back in the field. Set out numerous thin wire snares in the Stomp holes to see if I would have any luck. Noticed that the Stomps inhabit or use the piles that are in the live bush. All old brush or stick piles in dead bushes seem to be uninhabited. These piles have tunnels running all the way to the top. The tunnel floors are covered with the dung of the rodents inhabiting them. Saw two moles running parallel in the sand. Traced it about one-hundred feet to find it to be a branch of a succulent plant dragged by an Stomp. They bit off a branch and dragged back to their burrow. They eat at the entrances. Saw Old Van Krever and his son. Took his photograph and gave his son Harry the use of my 12-shot gun and hunting lamp for tonight. Old Van had four mierkates and two Namaqualand Moles for me. Nos. 1241, 1242, 1243, 1244, 1245, 1246. July 12 The wire snares did not prove successful as they were either pushed aside by the bush Stomps or evaded. I caught a gerbil, four elephant shrews, and Van Krever caught two Namaqualand Sand moles. The Black-eared Elephant Shrew is very active in the early morning, darting from bush to bush and into the brush piles. The Gerbil is active only in the night.

Tom Lorson Port Nolloth, Namaqualand, S. Africa July 12 Saw stores of succulent plant stems and leaves around the piles of sticks. Some had been dragged away to the lairways of the Bush Tommy's. 20 mi N. Port Nolloth, Dry River Bed In the afternoon I accompanied the engineer, Mr. Thompson, his wife, and four Danish carpenters on a trip to a dry river bed 20 miles north of Port Nolloth. The river bed was narrow and bordered by jagged rocks. Saw signs of harreg Desert Rat, Rock mice and other small rodents. Shot lizards and skinks that came out on the rocks to sun themselves. Saw three species of lizard and one species of skink. July 13 Today I caught one gerbil, one Elephant Shrew, one Bush Tommy, one Namaqualand Sand Mole, and got three meerkats from Van Heever's son, Harry. July 14 Van Heever had 14 Grant's Golden Moles for me today. Many of them were still alive in a pail which had some sand in the bottom. They dig frantically and move about quite rapidly. They are totally blind and have no visible trace of eyes. Their beautiful fur is of a soft fine quality, when you hold them in your hand they dry to crawl out between your fingers. July 15 Went up to Steinhoff today 55 miles east toward Springbok. This is over 300 feet in the mountains. Went out with a light to hunt small animals but had no luck. July 16 Four miles from Steinhoff is a place called Klipfontein which is an old abandoned railway station on a

Tom Larson Klipfontein, Am. N.W. Stein Kopf, Namaqualand July 16 broad upland valley hummed in my mountains. In the valley are boppies (isolated piles of big rounded boulders). These boppies have an abundant plant life so birds, reptiles and small mammals collect there. Set out traps in favorable spots in the bopple. Found a small cave where a porcupine had recently shed some quills. Saw two little striped mice playing on the humma boulder. When they saw me, they dodged under a huge rock. A few seconds out they came again. They seem to prefer daylight to darkness. In the evening I went hunting with a light way up on the mountain top. Saw the eyes of a Klip Spranger but it was too far away to shoot. Did not see any other animals. July 17 Caught two striped mice in the Klipfontein boppie, two small mice I couldn't identify, one small gerbil, four Cape Elephant Shrews. Shot a small snake and several lizards and skinks. Noticed a small Elephant Shrew by a rock. It was feebly running. I picked it up and noticed that it had been injured in one eye. I kept it for observation. Even though it was injured, occasionally it would leap 3 or 4 feet out of my hand. It moved its long nose about sniffing the air. Its eyes are very large and dark. The head is large in proportion to the rest of the body. Saw keeping four small front's Golden Mole alive in a box of sawdust and wood shavings. They were almost starved to death until I experimented by putting some dead lizards and skinks in their box. They ate the bodies immediately and began to pick up immediately at once.

Tom Larson 5 mi. E. Port Nolloth Namaqualand, S. Afr. July 18 Detected a Grants Golden mole containing two embryos. Observed the 4 Grants Golden moles in the box of wood shavings. I put the dead bodies of several skinks and lizards in the box. The hungry little males didn't hesitate to eat these, embryos and all. All that was left was the skin of the reptiles. The moles can dig rapidly in the sand as I observed. They will disappear in a few seconds when placed in soft sand. They are very powerful for their size, especially the front legs armed with shovel like digging claws. When placed on the floor they can run along quite rapidly - tho they are totally blind. I have heard them utter a faint squeak. When placed in a box with dead lizards they were attracted to them in a few minutes. Their sense of smell seems to be keenly developed. July 19 Caught one Golden mole no. 2298, one Oomys 2300, four Black-eared Elephant Shrews 2301, 2302, 2303, 2304, and one Namaqualand Sand Mole. The Elephant Shrews seem to be most active in the early morning. In the heat of the day they take cover under a bush pile, which leads or in their holes? They seem to relish the peanut butter and raisin bait. These shrews are infected with fleas. July 20 Today old Van de Kever caught one Golden mole for me, eleven Bush Stripes, five Elephant Shrews, two striped mice, and one Namaqualand Sand Mole. The four moles are still alive. Occasionally they come to the surface which leads me to believe they do otherwise in their native habitat.
