134 Citllus July 12 Grouse Meadow on Blue Ridge. Tulare Co, California This specimen was shot by Leighton Hicks and brought to me for identification. It is a complete albino with no dark markings. The discoloration of the stomach is due to intestinal secretion staining and decomposing the hide. There was a wild oat grain found in the cheek pouches (said). ALBINO SQUIRREL IS TAKEN IN MOUNTAINS An albino squirrel, white with pink eyes, was brought to the Recorder office Thursday by Leighton Hicks, who captured the squirrel in the bushes near his home in Grouse Val- ley, high up in the mountains. It is believed that an albino squirrel is rarity among the species.
