Hooper Entomias merriami 2 mi. SW Saratoga, 2000 ft., Santa Clara Co., Caly. July 8-11, 1938 These animals are abundant about our camp here. We have taken 12 by trapping or shooting. Definitely a brush-inhabiting kind; they are found in a chaparral type tree growth here composed of: Calif. bay, live oak, scrub oak, poison oak, manzanita, baccharis, mountain mahogany, blackberry, yerba santa, canthorus and some mint (?). Old apple trees that have been surrounded by this brush served as a focal food point for them. They were also seen feeding on this mint (?) and in blackberry brambles. They were not seen in pure stands of Abroptoma, though in some stands the plants were 8-10 ft. high and thickly placed.
