General Account.
him although we have put many
traps and all sorts of bait.
Jan 16 From the traps this morning
I took 2 Reithrodontomys, 19 Peromyscus
maniculatus, 5 Peromyscus truei.
Spent the entire day at
Sequoia National Park sleeping.
Had an interesting talk
with Mr. Carl Bowman at his
home at Pineslaw, Sequoia
National Park. He walks
8 miles of flum each day to
clean it of trees and
water for lakes. He said
that he averaged 3-5 animal
per day and among those
captured were Brush Rabbit,
Rat, Mouse, Bob-cats, Deer,
Fox. They use deer bridges
along the flum as well
as pipes across the stream
to permit the deer to
cross, or in case they got
in to get out. He said with
this facility the young deer
often drown. He showed me
on his back ground a long
tailed Cat which had come out
of his attic to feed on dried
rats. that he had placed out
for them, and stated that
they had raised a family
of 4 young in the attic.
