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.).
