Wm. B. Richardson 1935 Dudolphis virginiana virginiana Dec. 19 4 mi. S.E. Porterville, 550 ft. Tulare Co., Cal. Found dead and decomposed near our home vineyard. Father believed that this individual had been feeding on the grapes of our small vineyard and had directly or indirectly consumed some of the poison pellets in the rocks near by for squirrel, 4 miles away from the river habitat; having probably wandered in through the oarg grove. Nov. 27. (fil Mrs. W.P. Bancroft) The Opusums were brought sent to Porterville in 1902 by her grandfather this fall. They was a mother with young. When one of the young died he felt sorry for the others and turned them loose. They were sent by Dr. B.O. Hardeman to Dr J L Hardeman of Porterville.
