1937. Primitive Area, Strawberry Canyon,
Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
Dec. 17, will use hereafter. Yesterday I
marked two mice: - 1 Pero. maniculatus
and 1 Pero. t. gilberti. I gave each
the #1 mark (see chart for marking).
Today I marked two Peromyscus
m. g. and three P. t. g.: using the
system whereby I gave each species
separate numbers. Hereafter,
however there will be one
set of
serial numbers for all the mammals.
This will avoid confusion.
The following are the mammals marked
today:
3 Hd. & Peromyscus maniculatus
Caught in ferns on steps. The
seventh step - 1st group of steps
from the west fence - when
freed it went uphill.
