At the locality "St. Vincent, salt marsh, 5 mi. N San Rafael," from
50 mouse traps set in runways in
Salicornia I took only 1 animal—a
Reithrodontomys fulvescens. From
40 mouse traps set in Salicornia at
the locality "1 mi. E San Rafael, salt
marsh," I took: 2 Mns. musculus
(1 a partial albino) and 10 Micrulus.
Rempel caught nothing at either place
(20 traps at St. Vincent, 30 at San Rafael)
so I gave him 1 Mns. and 3 Micrulus
(1jun., 1 7ad. & 1 9 ad.).

In the course of measuring big game skulls
and skins for "Records of North American
Big Game" (a publication of the Boone
and Crockett Club, in care of American
Museum of Natural History), I have
encountered and made friends with many
of the so-called sportsmen of North
America. Perhaps I should not say
"so-called" for with one or two
exceptions (all of about 30 people seen)
these men do seem to have a "sporting
outlook" as regards big game hunting.
