Mustela xanthogenys xanthogenys. (Gray.) California Weasel. I had always been interested in weasels as to their occurrence and until this year had taken only one in town with a record of only two or three seen along the railroad track. Then in one week four weasels were given me and a record of seven others obtained, all these are from nearby orange groves and from below town along the railroad track where for a long time I have known they occurred.
Scapanus latimanus occultus. (Grinnell and Swartz.) Southern California Mole. Moles are occasionally caught in orchards and lawns and the characteristic workings are familiar sights in the mountains up to 8,000 feet. Our specimens were all from the valley.
Antrozous pallidus pacificus. (Merriam.) Pacific Pale Bat. I have taken several of these bats from behind pictures and in the attics of some of the college buildings. I do not know their relative abundance or distribution but they are certainly common on the campus in spring and summer.
Myotis evotis. (Allen.) Long-eared Bat. This form also occurs in the college buildings and I believe to a certain extent in the mountains.

[A Preliminary List of Shells from Laguna Beach and Nearby]
For a number of years past students have collected shells from Laguna Beach, these and the Bradshaw collection form the basis for this list, which includes shells not farther than ten or twelve miles up and down the coast. The earlier collections were by Mabel Guernsey and P. R. Daggs. Practically all the shells drawn and photographed are from the Bradshaw collection because the shells were in better condition. Some of the earlier specimens were determined by the United States National Museum. Suggestions and corrections were kindly made by Mrs. T. S. Oldroyd. The photographs are by Robins and Cooper. Many of the drawings are by Miss Margaret Cate. Doubtful specimens are largely omitted in this list, but a few are included and marked by a question.
