San Miguel Island Santa Barbara, C. Calif. Sept. 22, 1927 Out of 25 traps set we caught 9 Peromyscus last night and 2 this morning. We set 9 steel sets and caught one fox. Three other sets were sprung, one showing the fox had been held a while before getting away. We caught 6 female or male mice. I came over the brow of a hill I had a long shot at a fox but didn't get it. The steel traps were set in gullies on the south west side of the Island. Over there I saw a herm sitting away out on the kelp. There were many sea lions and very tame playing and fishing in the surf. stomach, skull & skeleton next page 668 Fox 2257g. 645-160-115-70 Note (Bob Tail).
