R.P. Kirkpatrick 1965 Mus musculus Sand Island Johnston Atoll Pacific some stomachs and some skins were saved. (cont) 30 traps were set SE of the tower at 7PM. Jan 17 mice were in the 30 traps, #716, #704♀, 10 #741♀, #508♂ (2 and 3 hundred) were among the 17 and were released on the grid. The other 13 Mus were autopsied (RDK#517 through RDK#529). 35 traps were baited and set east of the tower at 7PM. #704♀ was caught today for the second straight day.
