Donald 1937 Primitive Area, Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Dec. 19, I entered the area by way of the botanical garden. While proceeding along the west fence I saw an adult Citellus run into a hole under the fence. He ran from the botanical garden but the hole proceeded under into the dirt of the primitive area. The clear, bright weather we have been having probably accounts for the presence of this squirrel. The location of the fence is shown at the spot marked (a) on the map for this date. I saw this animal at 2:10 P.M. In the trapline along the lower trail I caught the following. Ad. ♀ Peromyscus maniculatus 50 feet west of 2nd and 75 feet east of 1st bay tree - Dead in trap. Peromyscus maniculatus 75 feet east of 2nd Bay tree_ on lower trail. Escaped unmarked. Ad. ♀ 100 ft. east of 2nd Bay Tree on lower trail. - Dead. #8 Imm. ♀ Peromyscus truei gilberti 30 feet west of 1st elder Ret. same Dec. 20. trap.
