P.A. Kelly 1983 Journal Shermans: 8 Peromyscus truei 1 Peromyscus maniculatus 1 Peromyscus boylii I continued autopsying the Calhorn line spec imens while Catty prepared and stuffed a Perognathus californicus. All animals caught in live traps were released except for one Dipodomys venustus which I took back to the HVZ as a pet. We scrubbed and cleaned the lab from top to bottom, and left the Reserve around 1 p.m. Catty and I travelled back with Rick Warner but we detoured to take in Point Lobos and Monterey. At Pt Lobos I took photos of a sealion basking on a rock only 20 ft away from me. We also watched a seaotter Enhydra lutris feeding her half-grown pup in a rocky inlet. The coastline at Pt Lobos is really spectac ular, it's a pity it's so far away from Berkeley. Later on we got within 15 ft of a feeding otter at the Monterey pier, there were also very many sealions basking on the breakwater. I took a number of slides of the otter in Monterey and I also took some shots of our catch in Hastings with the help of Ed Heske in a large bird enclosure there.
