Paul DeBenedictis 1967 Peromyscus maniculatus 20 July Harris Beach State Park (Camping Area), Curry Co., Oregon. Today I trapped a specimen in a patch of wild rye, about 3 feet high, in a small clearing in dense [illegible] -aldern (another bush) thicket. The trees run 7-8 feet high, densely packed together. The site is mostly covered with grasses, and the rye patch measures about 8 x 12' in size. Near by grow wild rose, cone flowers, a ?marzanita and 2 or 3 other grasses. The trap was placed in in the run way between two of the rye clumps. Near campsite 60. Considerable fat about neck. 22 July Highlands Camp site, Van Damme St. Park., [illegible] Co, Calif. - Elvety Conks trapped a mouse of this species in a scrubby fir wood at the edge of a grassy area. Area quite dry, but cool. Ground covered with mulch litter from the firs - needles, sticks, branches. Much grass, including a little wild rye, in the vicinity, but most of this is quite dry no other plants available. The area is on a slight south facing slope, and quite exposed to the wind. Little fat. Area here is a patch of fir forest on little River very near the ocean. Site is an open pine, firs, grassland on top of Ridge between the little River & the Big River.
