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.
