A. Feathers 20 mi. W Red Bluff, Tehama Co., Calif. 4. Dec. 18, 1933. (cont.) was left there, free, while I re- turned to base for an axe and the young hound. On returning to the tree I found the hound had left the tree and was again trailing. Ascertaining that the coon was still in the den tree, I left the pup there on chain and followed the old hound. The second coon treed in a dead white oak stump. I gained entrance by battering a hole with an old fence post, and I shot the coon. In all cases of coons treed on this expedition the den trees were a hundred feet or more above any creek bed. The first coon treed was re-treed a few times to train the young hound and was then shot. Stomach contents for both specimens were exclusively manganita berries. 84. ♂ Procyon 850-295-125-60 85. ♂ Procyon 635-50-127-58 Specimen no. 85 had lost the greater part of its tail at some early period of its existence. The stub had completely healed.
