Dec. 16,
In my 12 mouse traps I had set out
I caught four mice. 2 Peromyscus
maniculatus gambeli and 2 Peromyscus
truei gilberti. I marked one of
each species in the following manner
#1 Ad. ♀ Peromyscus maniculatus
Caught 30 feet east of the west
fence just north of the trail at
the base of a cut away portion
of the bank. The trap being
set at the entrance of a large
"erosion" hole. Ran down hill when freed.
—Marked with nip out of ear #1.
#2 Ad. ♂ Peromyscus truei gilberti
Caught 300 feet east of
west fence. Marked with #1
mark. When liberated it,
ran up the hill into a thicket
of ferns
Of the other two one escaped (truei)
and the other was dead (man). I
set out the other traps—making
about 30 sets in all.
