J.R. Alcorn 1943. Itinerary Thursday, March 11, 1943. Looked at the traps that were set on the open “weedy” slope and catched numerous Peromyscus, Reithrodonmys and Microtius. Also caught one wood rat in the timbered area along with three Peromyscus. One Skunk and one Opossium in the steel traps. After preparing specimens all day Hubert Hall and I drove to the timbered slope 9 mi. SE of Pátzcuaro and there I set 35 more mouse traps where the Pine trees were large and numerous. The 45 mouse traps were left on the “weedy” slope where no trees are growing. In this timbered slope I saw one Cottontail rabbit. I also set two steel traps for Skunks. Four gopher traps were set in a corn field 5 mi. S of Pátzcuaro.
