Hoffmeister 1942 Soorex June 9 3mi. S 7 8mi. W Big Pine, 700ft, Lugo Co, Calif Caught a lactating ♀ (without embryos), no. 763, in a trap set in a marshy area about 15 feet from Big Pine Creek. There is considerable surface water here among the grass, which is quite thick. The grass is eaten by deer. One deer was seen feeding here. The shrew was caught in the grass beneath a thicket of water birch. The ♀ had 3 pair of mammae. It is difficult to say which were inguinal and which were abdominal, if such a distinction can be made. None was pectoral.
