10/13/25 49 October 13, - 1925 - No rain. I started a trap line on a rocky steep cliffed mountain 4 mi. N.E. of Dividadero. The altitude on the mountain ranges from 800 feet at my lowest trap to 1200 feet at the top. In many places on the lower slope the brush has been cleared away and corn has been planted. Even where there is bushy vegetation or small trees it is third or fourth growth. This type of ground extends up to 1000 feet then the shaggy rock cliffs reach upward to an average of about 100 feet where there is some tall grass which is entirely smothered out in most places by dense low brush. Rooted into the cracks of the rocky cliff are many scrub trees, some which extend out nearly horizontally are searched frequently by black vultures, turkey vultures and an occasional ravin. I caught a (10581) Sigmodon in a large snap trap baited with corn. The trap was set in a run along a brush fence. This was in a very bushy place near a corn patch. A little farther up the mountain I caught a [illegible] (10580) kiomys in a large snap trap baited with corn. This trap was set at the opening of a small round hole which run horizontally into little bank of red soil. Another trap in a similar set had a tail of probably the same species
