"Peromyscus", they seem to be
very plentiful here in this ravine.
I caught twelve of these in this place,
some old and some young. Upon looking
in their stomach we found red fruit
which I found after looking and
which we took some leaves to find
out what kind of a tree this is,
this place where I caught these
mice is 4300 ft high.
January 11, 1927
I took more traps up for harvest mice
after look at other traps which I
took eight more Peromyscus. I set traps
for harvest mice in likely places.
One trap held a large female Peromyscus
by both front legs and a young one
was sucking it was about half grown.
I caught it with hands and killed it
also after cutting mother open she was
emorio in milk which is peculiar
that she had not weaned this mouse
yet. These Peromyscus were taken
taken in about same places each
morning but higher up on side of
ravine I did not catch any of these.
Altho their undoubtedly were up their
to
