follow these mammals very far in it. I stood by side of trail and watched one of them feed for a while it not being afraid it would first eat leaves then root in leaves and dead brush for insects which they feed upon I shot it with .410 shot pistol but couldn't find it. no 12223 Was shot at night 1 1/2 mi West of Divisadero in a large opening which is used as a pasture their being grass and young carbon brush in it. It was seen jumping about in grass but when shot it was standing on it hind feet look at me to see what was going on December 22 1926 I put up specimens no 12221 no 12222 & no 12223 which I shot the night before no 12221 & no 12222 Was rather hard to put up they being hard to skin on account of being a hard shell on it back and on it tail it being necessary to take a pair of bone snips and cut one in tail out this being about the only way getting it out
