10/18/25 53 October 18, 1925 - no rain. A small snap trap at an altitude of 950 feet caught a small juvenile mouse which I called white-bellied blue (Peromyscus) (10594) mouse. The trap was set in place among the leaves and sticks where it looked like mice had been passing to and fro along the mountains side. The trap was baited with oatmeal. (10595) A Sigmodon was caught in a large snap rat trap set by a crevice in a rock at an altitude of 1000 feet. This trap was about ten feet from (10596) the rocky cliff. Another Sigmodon was cought under a brush fence at an altitude of 850 feet. At the place where I crawled over the rocky ledge there were many wide crevices one of which seemed to be frequented by some animal for the dirt there was packed smooth and hard. A trap set there baited with (10597) oatmeal caught a Blue-tailed rat, October 19, 1925 - Rained today. I set a small snap trap by some little round holes in a small red soil bank. The bank was held by the roots of some brush that grew at the top. These places are usually not over three feet high and sometimes as low as one foot and in some places low weeds or such vegetation accustomed to shade cover them so that one possibly would not think of them as banks. I mention them particularly because there was no rocks or crevices near them. In
