1936.
Peromyscus truei
Hamel - area - Sierra foothill + San Joaquin Valley.
Life zone - Lower Sonoran + Upper Sonoran.
Habitat - Thick brushy preferably in the vicinity of rocks.
Jan 15 Caught 2 more of this species in the traps last evening. Habitat was the thick grassy hill side about rocks at Cuzco. The tall dried wild oat stalks form a very dense cover, especially about rocks where they are protected from cattle grazing.
Jan 14 Caught 5 of this species since yesterday.
Jan 17 Took an animal from my traps this morning. This species of animal that I have taken him during the past 4 days he is found predominantly in the tall grass near the floor of the canyon where more brush and rocks are to be found. Nor were taken in the open grassy land.
