Hooper,
1937
Inverness, 100 ft., Marin Co., Calif.
Mar. 27
Last nite I drove out the road toward Pt. Reyes to just the other side (West)
of the summit. The locality, Pt. Reyes
road, 2 mi. NW Inverness, is about
to canyon
1/2 mi. down toward the ocean from
where the old "Norman Cabin, 3 mi.
Pt Inverness" locality was -- see
W.T. Taylor, J. Fimell, C.F. Camp, etc.,
1912. Set 50 mouse traps about
6 faces apart (av.) in the meadow,
soggy, wet,
arrow; edge?
under second fern and grass.
The ground is very wet, most of it
covered with 1" or more of water; only
occasional places out of water -- and
these soggy. Caught this morning
in the above situation: 1 Microtus
(with 4 embryos) and 3 Sorex. One
shrew was so badly eaten by some
animal that only the skull could
be saved.
Frank put out 20 traps near our
house -- under fern clumps, at the
base of bay and alder trees. He found
this morning 4 Peromyscus maniculatus
(3 juv.).
