North end Nachogero Valley 3400 ft.
Lower Calif., Mex.

50 mouse and rat traps caught 6♂ & 6♀ Dipor-
domys and 4♂ + 1♀ peromyscus and 1♂
onychomys. One steel set was
sprung it was near the spring.
The other 5 were not touched.
1019 Onychomys ♂ 20. g 157-45-20-15
1020 Peromyscus ♀ 17.5g 154-67-21-15
maniculatus = skull only since skin cannot be located 920; skin was mislabeled
1021 Peromyscus ♀ 25. g 156-73-20-15
maniculatus
1022 ♂ 20. g 153-74-20-15
This new trap line covers every association found here. It starts on the edge of the swamp
Then the oak tree into the sage chaparral
and mangaita, then up a long draw to
a spring. There are: skunk, coyote, fox
and wildcat tracks along this line.
The blue jays seem to be storing
corns as I have seen many carrying
them in their bills.
Note: Because of Green's error in the field of putting the number 920 on the
skin instead of 1020, the skull and skin were mistakenly thought
to belong to different specimens. Actually 920 is a coyote. Its locality
and date are correct on the skin label for 1020 (as well as its measurements.
