1964 Mus musculus
Sand Island, Johnston Atoll, Pacific
Oct. 11 PM I baited and set the 25
19 traps on the grid.
Six mice were seen and at
least 3 mice were in traps by
the time I finished setting all the
traps.
Oct. 8:30 A.M. Had 17 mice, including
20 an unmarked one, in traps.
10 A.M. Used 23 traps to expand
grid to 70' X 30'. Trap #'s 26 through
48 were set at 10' intervals whereas
traps 1-25 were left in their old
positions with 5' intervals.
