Hooper,
1938
Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.
July 13,
about 5 mi.
We drove on east (on road to Livermore)
looking for good pocket mouse country
(Artemesia and rocks), but found nothing
better than that on most exposed
slopes north of Diablo Cr. I was
mistaken in thinking I had seen
Artemesia in a rocky canyon about
5 mi. east of the above camp in with
the junipers which are found there.
I set 31 traps in a S.W.-facing slope
among grass and near or under
mountain serbogyry, a dwarf Artemesia?
(± 10 in. high) and! A few ground squirrels
were seen here and some burrows apparently
of Dipodomya. From those traps:
2 Dipodomys h., 1 Peromyscus m., 1 Peromyscus
californicus, 1 P. truei. In similar
situations but with more traps in
dried "gramininae" ± 1½ ft. high from
60 traps Feathers took 1 Perognathus c.
and about(!!) 10 P. maniculatus .
14 traps set along the edge of brush (=
Adenostema, Canthusa curvata, poison oak,
and fallen coulter pine debris) netted
1 Dipodomyx (from holes in sandy ground near
brush), 2 Peromyscus californicus.
2 P. truei.
