Fish & Game, as part of a shipment of material to have the stomach analyzed. Tillotson gave it to M.V.J. April 16, 1942 after removing the stomach. Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley Alameda Co., Calif. + skel. 506. ♂ Sylvilagus bachmani April 25, 1942 (coll. A.H. Miller) 142-20-37-26 ≡ 75.5 gm Picked up dead along trail on hill south of Strawberry Pool by Dr. Miller & Zoo/1/3 group about 10:30 a.m. ♂, and another group, had come along this same trail 15-minutes earlier and the rabbit was not there then. Apparently it had been killed by some carnivore, which struck it on the head & apparently right behind the ear. When Dr. Miller got to it, the rabbit was still warm and bleeding around the head. An examination of the stomach revealed that it was completely filled with curdled milk, with a small amount of fur(hairs), and some trace green grass. The tail length was measured from the carcass after skinning. Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
