774 Lepus californicus Silmoce Mad River Ford, 2700 ft., above Ruth, Trinity Co., Calif. 1933 May 26, 1933 Fairly common in canyo valley bottom thru brush and in open. Have seen as many as six in one bunch. Extremely hard to get; very wary and when alarmed immediately take to deep cover in fringe of timber. That is, they hunt cover rather than the open for safety. Rather reddish in coloration. May 29, 1933 Two taken today, one by Behle and other by Brummell. Both taken at edge of timber where they had taken refuge from the open flats. Horse Mt., 4700 ft.-5200 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. June 1, 1933 One seen on top of ridge. Open country all way on west to Redwood Creek. Rabbit sign, mostly old, seen commonly in rocky or bushy areas. Perhaps not Jack Rabbits but Brush or Snowshoe Rabbits.
