Boulevard, ST 1942 50 Itinerary Apr. 10 Muddy Creek Shower again last night and clear, cloudy and un- predictable this morning. Last night traps were set on the margin of a stand of Artemesia on a south-facing hillside with an open field of young grain below. The Artemesia is 3 to 4 ft. tall, in a more or less closed stand with an undergrowth of grass 8-12 inches tall. Many runs were evident. Of 120 Museum Special traps baited with mixed oats & peanutbutter, 15 traps were sprung catching nothing. A total of 53 animals were caught, including the following: Reithrodontomy, 29; Microtus, 2; Peromyscus maniculatus, 15; Peromyscus?, 1; Perognathus californicus, 6. Along the edge of the field where traps were set, we found a dead mole in an advanced state of decomposition. On the way back to camp a sparrow hawk and a black phoebe were seen. We broke camp about noon and drove to Salinas where we had dinner at the Lew-Ellen drive-in before meeting Mr. Silliman at his house at 2:00 PM. We secured the skulls and specimens which we had given Mr. Silliman to keep for us. Mr. Silliman to us (as gift to MVZ) four specimens of D.V. vernustus which was taken near Mt. Herman, Santa Cruz Co. He says that these are topotypes; that he has traced the exact type locality to a valley near Mt. Herman where old Badger, the collector of the type specimen, lived all his life. The former type locality is recognized as Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County. Mr. Silliman also is sending to MVZ three cc, two specimens of Dipodomys from 7 miles south of San Juan on the Fremont Peak Rd., Monterey County.
