e captures were: 722, 397, 356, 293, 253 and 144 feet (the latter shift made three different times). Sexual urge probably motivated most of his wandering, since numbers of females were low. (3.) For this male the span of records was 143 days, with 18 captures. For the first eight recaptures, extending over a period of 39 days, he was still at the original location. Four days later he had moved 120 feet and was visiting a female. A week later he returned. In the following month he was recorded as making two more moves, of 115 feet and 215 feet. He was last recorded at the hilltop outcrop. (4.) The records of this male extended over 465 days, with 13 captures. For the entire period only one movement, of 163 feet, was recorded. Twelve of the 13 captures were at the same house. (5.) This male was captured 16 times over a span of 130 days. After the second capture he moved 144 feet along the outcrop and was caught there for the next 14 times, having developed a "trap habit." (6.) This male was in the area 210 days (13 captures) and shifted his range. He was first captured on August 17, 1952, at a house at the rock fence 433 feet from the outcrop. Between this date and October 12, 1952, he moved to the outcrop and established residence in a vacant house. He was recorded as making six more moves, the longest of which was only 40 feet. (7.) This male was first caught in June, 1949, as a juvenile probably between two and three months old (weighing 96 grams) and hence probably still at the maternal house. In September, grown to adult size, he was caught twice, still at this same place. In October, November, December, and in February, 1950, he was caught 11 times at eight places all within a 90-foot radius of his original location. In April, 1950, he was caught at points 550 feet WSW and 700 feet SW. In October he was caught within 150 feet of the original location. In November, 1950, and in March and April, 1951, he was caught four times at a place 900 feet SW from his original location. (8.) This subadult male was first caught at the hilltop outcrop on October 4, 1949. Two days later he had moved 160 feet north along the outcrop. A month later he had shifted 600 feet south; in three more days 1040 feet north. On
