Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ... distinct species. With this awful catastrophe in mind it becomes a layman to be cautious about crediting wild cats to this island where there are ordinary cats running wild on the upper island, --cats left by campers and gone to the bad, preying on partridge nests. To me the foxes of San Clemente, Santa Catalina, San Miguel, and Santa Cruz look very much alike, and that they bite exactly alike I can certify. That of San Miguel is Urocyon littoralis, Baird. The one on Santa Cruz is Urocyon littoralis, Santacruzce, according to Merriam; while the beautiful little animal at Santa Catalina is the Santa Catalina Island fox, Urocyon catalina, Merriam. These little animals were so tame at Middle Ranch at one time that they would come up to the door of the camp at night and look in, and several would be caught every night. I remember Cbinetti, at San Clemente, told me that the foxes would eat from his hands, and even come into his house, --a proceeding which pales into insignificance before the appearance of the gigantic wild sea-lion, Big Ben, on the beach at Avalon, where I have seen him on the public street, or climbing onto a float, to take a fish. The fox of San Clemente is different still, Urocyon element(r), Merriam. There are several large bats, at San Clemente, and a small one. They came into my tent at Mosquito. The little one is Myotis californicus. I have caught them in a landing net at Avalon as we caught small bats at Klamath. This little creature has also been observed at Santa Cruz, and doubtless is found at San Miguel and Santa Rosa. There are wild burros and wild cattle on Santa Catalina, but they are runaways from herds. I have never seenany other animals here. There are few rattlesnakes on Santa Catalina, but in many miles' travel over this is.
