D.F. Hoffmeister 1939 Jan. 24. Forest Exp. Plot, Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Caly. Set 14 snap traps, 6 at the forestry plot around the Caenothus patch; the other 8 about 100 feet below here. The weather is still mild for this time of year, & very clear. Jan.25 Visited traps. The fire at Plot immediately adjacent to Caenothus patch caught 2 Sorex ornatus; the 6th trap, farther away, had been sprung and moved, apparently by a dog. The other 8 has 3 Peromyscus truei: one trap (with specimen?) on a bank 4 ft. above creek had sprung & fallen in water below. A P.truei lay a short distance away from trap in water, apparently having drowned or been injured and falling in the water. Other 2 Peromyscus truei which were saved were caught thicket of willows with a few blackberries, etc. Of the 8 traps, only 5 were set in places one would expect to catch Peromyscus truei, and of these 5, 3 caught truei, 1 was sprung and 1 wasn't.
