H.T. Grinnell - 1915. Yosemite, Calif. Containing many seeds of the now ripened coffee berry (Rhamnus) Birds of interest seen were: four Band-tailed Pigeons, flying over the golden-oak talus slope; a flock of about twenty-five Violet-green Swallows, twittering as they circled high over the meadows; and four White- throated Swifts, darting about high over the talus slope. It has been suggested to us that a young mammal, when brought up by hand is more apt to thrive upon "Eagle Brand" condensed milk than upon the unsweetened condensed milk or upon cow's milk; so we are trying the first- named upon the Flying Squirrel. He takes it very easily and rouses instantly when squeaked at, either by day or night, altho he is listless at night,
