Vernon Bailey Describes California
Species to Biologists.

Women will have to find a better
refuge than climbing on chairs and ia
bles to avoid that terror of feminine
hearts-the mouse-if a species de-
scribed by Vernon Bailey before the
Biological Society of Washington at
the Cosmos Club last evening ever be-
comes abundant in this part of the
country. For the members of the tribe
described by Mr.. Bailey care nothing
for heights, but scamper and play and
build their homes at between 100 and
$50 feet from the ground.
The species described by Mr.. Bailey is
found In California, nesting in the tops
of tall trees. the lowest branches of
which are often 100 feet from the
ground: In order to collect specimens
of the little rodent, the naturalist had
to climb these trees. for 1t seems the small
creature never comes to the ground.
Mr.. Bailey related some Interesting
anecdotes of his efforts to learn more
of this mouse. In one instance he
found a nest of yellow jackets in an
abandoned mouse nest, and in another
he discovered a nest of bumblebees
