N slope Strawberry Canyon, 1/4 mi. NE Botanical Garden.
Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. April 29, 1936
Set out 30 mouse traps in mixed Artemisia,
Baccharis, Poison Oak and Blue Lupine. Took
22 rodents as follows:
Perognathus c. californicus 2♂, 3♀
Thomomys t. bottae
1♀ y9
Microtus c. californicus
1♀ Broken skull
Reithrodonomys m. longicaudus 2♂, 1♀
Peromyscus m. gambelii 8♂, 4♀.
Ants were busy on the captured animals
when I visited the traps at 4:30 P.M., One ♀
Perognathus was utterly ruined (maybe by them).
Perognathus were taken near Artemisia,
especially in places where there were steep
banks. The Reithrodonomys were trapped in
matted grassy areas as was the Microtus.
There was much evidence of Brush Rabbits
and I found they had been feeding on the
blue, brush-like lupine.
Saved as specimens)
Perognathus 2♂, 2♀ (1♀ as skeleton only)
Reithrodonomys 2♂
Peromyscus 2♂ 2♀
