RARE SEA FOSSIL
IS DISCOVERED
BERKELEY, May 30. — Through
erators, the University of
of fossil sea cow, so rare, in fact,
. } that the svecimen stil! lacks definrite identification as to its species or
sub-species.
. The discovery was made in the
igravel pit at Barton Trobeck near
. Felton, Santa Cruz county by Daust,er Baker and Lawrence Garrelts,
lessees of the pit. Despite the fact
that the skull had been separated
from the skeleton and broken by a
scraper. Baker and Garrelts saw at
once that it
specimen. Work was stopped at the
site and Trobeck notified. Later the
Museum was told of the discovery
and Dr. C. L. Camp, director, and
eriz of the museum staff went to the
scene.
remainder of the skeleton removed
from the deep gravel bed and _ returned with the fragments of the
skull, which are now being. assemb‘led and studied.
Later. Dr.. Camp sent six-trained
investigators to the site under the
direction of Goeriz, to remove the
remainder of the skeleton. This has
an indicated length of about fifteen
feet and a heavy skeletal siructure
with enormousl thick. ribs. From
the examination thus far made it
has been determined that the specimen may be a form of. Metaxythérium, the ancestor of the modern
sea cow, and that it may have ranged in the Upper Miocene or about
6,000,000 years ago. The’ only other
specimen found in Western North
America was that taken at Lompoc
in a diatomic formation some years
ago. This was an incomplete skull.
PREDATORS KILLED
Only 12 mountain lions were bagged
during April, a 50 per:cent drop during the corresponding 1939 period,
the bureau of fish and game reported today.
Two of these lions were killed in
Inyo county, where only 18 lions
have been killed in 30 years. The
last Mon taken in Inyo was in 1930.
Other predators taken were 283
"bobcats and coyotes and 105 miscellaneous species.

THIS SUMMER
SACRAMENTO, May 30.—(UP)—
. Prospects for the 1940 fire ‘season
are not any too bright, according to
. State Forester M. B, Pratt, who pre.
.
. dicts-that fires, particularly in the
. erass and brush areas, will be almost
las severe this year as last.
More rain fell in various parts of
' the state this year than last year,
/with the precipitation being above
normal. The snowfall was scattered,
; particularly in the southern Sierra,
where there was not enough snow up.
!to the 5000-foot elevation to provide
l for snow sports. Pratt said, howev‘er, the rainfall will delay the fire
/ season in timbered areas at elevaltions of 4000 feet or more-in the
Sierra and along the redwood forests
on the coast.
Below the timber belt in the Sierra, Pratt pointed out, there is a very
heavy stand of grass, which will constitute as bad a fire hazard as was
expérienced last year.
In the counties of Southern California and in the San Joaquin valley, rangers are having from five to
ten fires every day, and when the
temperature is ‘high and the humidity low, as has been the case during the last two weeks, these fires
are proving exceedingly difficult to
control.
