L.M. Boyers 1932 Waltham Cr, 4 1/2 mi S.E. Priest Valley 1850 ft Fresno Co Cal. December 27, 1932 Got 3 Dipodomys on the colony location and one more on the down trail. Also secured 5 Peromyscus truei from among the Dipodomys holes at the colony situation - likewise I got 2 Peromyscus maniculatus on the down trail. Spent day skinning. According to T.B. Green and other local inhabitants this area was burned over several times within the last five years, and the farmers in general consider brush rabbits and cottontails, and jackies to a lesser degree, as down-right pests, saying in one case a field near a brush line had an 8 ft strip cleaned off during the nights. Also on what appears to be good observation, this was a disease ?, at least a marked decrease in the rabbit population in the spring of 1930. December 28, 1932 Heavy frost this morning; went bird hunting and saw few birds since a heavy wind came up and they all kept close to cover.
