D.F. Hoffmeister 1939 NE of Botanical Gardens, Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Cal. April 1 Last night set 11 snap traps and 6 live traps along trail NE Botanical Gardens that leads on through Eucalyptus grove, in company with Ronald W. Smith. On the snap traps there were 2 Peromyscus truei (♀ + ♂), 4 Peromyscus maniculatus, 1 Hethrodonotmys megalotis, and 1 Perognathus. Some of them were pretty badly eaten and only the Peromyscus truei were saved. In the live traps, there was 1 Peromyscus maniculatus gambeli which was experimental placed in a wire cage in the field while its toe was clipped as a trail method for such marking for identification. April 23 Peromyscus truei ♂ caged since October 22, 1938 died in captivity & was made a alcoholic specimen for later examination. He was caught at the east end of Strawberry Pool along Old Canyon Road on Oct. 22, 1938 June, 6 Rincon Road, (off Arlington Ave.), N of Berkeley, Contra Costa Co., Calif. Mr. E.T. Blake brought in to the museum this morning a gray fox which he found dead on his place at the above locality. He said that this is the second time a gray fox has been seen (or taken?) on his place. He believes that a new rifle range in Wildcat Canyon is causing certain animals to cross the ridge towards the vicinity
