October 14, 1925- No rain.
(10582) I caught an Oryzomys in a large
snap rat trap set along the edge of
a little red bank which was about
a foot high. This place was under
heavy brush and small trees near
a corn patch at an elevation of
1000 feet. This female specimen
was carrying three 14 m.m. embryos.
The ante had eaten her nose pretty
badly and also one of her feet. Not far
from this place I caught a
(10583) Sigmodon by a brush fence. The
trap was baited with corn and
set in a place where it looked
like these rats had been using as
a run. At an elevation of
1100 feet on up the mountain side
(10584) I caught another Sigmodon under
steep lava rock cliff. This female
was carrying two-18 m.m. embryos.
October 15, 1925- Rained
07 during the night. The traps
on the mountain side had
nothing. One of the traps in the
mine had an immature male
(10585) Opossum. His stomach content consisted
of insect remains which he probably
caught by digging under boards
and among the piles of wood
in the mine tunnel. He was
very poor.
