Boulware, JT 1942 Dipodomys Apr. 2 Berglund Ranch about 10 or 12 feet apart on the edge of chaparral. This morning we saw in the sandy soil, along the edge of this chaparral, what might have been a "dust bowl" for a Dipso. The soil had been kicked around in a circular spot about 8" in diameter and contained marks suggesting Dipso tracks and tail marks. The cheekpockets of a ? rat contained leaves of filaree, leaves & flowers of red maid, and leaves of burn clover (plus one plant yet to be identified). Also leaves of Lotus sp. and flower head of a small grass. Apr. 5 Mud Creek, 800 ft., 3½ mi. SW San Juan, Monterey Co., Calof. Mr. Henry Augustini, tenant of the Uhl property on which we are camped told us that kangaroo rats were among the small mammals and birds which he poisoned along the fence row by his lettuce fields. We showed him a kangaroo rat specimen and he seemed certain of his identification; however, frankly, we were doubtful. No kangaroo rats were taken in the 53 traps we set along the fence row or in the 61 traps which we set on the slope and at the base of the hillside beyond the fence. This is shady lucerne habitat with a thick undergrowth of poison oak, bracken, coffeeberry, snowberry, elderberry, monkeyflower, Baccharis, Artemesia, and blackberry. Although we believe it unlikely that Dipodomys would occur in this habitat, the recent heavy rains and the rains of last night may have kept them in their burrows. Or the ever-abundant Peromyscus may have taken too great a precedence in our traps.
