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.
