Hooper,
1937
Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
May 25;
Drove to Marin Co. yesterday with Art.
Rempel of the zoology department. Our
itinerary was as follows: left Berkeley at
12:45, drove to Richmond ferry, thence
across the Bay to San Rafael mole;
thru San Rafael north on Redwood
Highway to Petaluma. Here we
measured two "big game" specimens for
the "Records of North American Big Game"
at 4 P.M. drove back on northeast
side of Petaluma marshes thru
Lakeville to Napa road, thence back
to the marshes immediately back of
St. Vincent's School for Boys (St. Vincent
railroad station) and finally back to
San Rafael where we ate dinner
after setting out traps on the marshes
near here. Then drove back to
St. Vincent to spend the night.
This morning we collected our traps
due and at San Rafael and drove
back to Berkeley by the same route --
reached here at 7:30 A.M.
There is considerable unclaimed
marshland around Lakeville, but
most of the land about Petaluma
is under cultivation.
