Koford 42 Journal! 17 February 1966 N. Kusodomari, Komori-Ken, Japan With S. Azuma, walked K. to Kaijorii canyon, up to top of W & back to K. Snow 1-2' in canyon bottom; <1' on ridge. Sked +6° C. 1100, +3° at 1300, Ag. said saw 1 monkey to [illegible] ridge; gone when I arrived. We saw 3 Capricornis red-brow cross, with half-grown young, standing [illegible] distant on open rocky point, looking at us, from them (Azuma photod, 35mm). Photod some of the tree. Capricornis has many dry leaves clinging. Of deer more (tree 24) for analysis; some bark seen prob. by monkeys, on brancher <1" diam. Bare section of 1" diam. trunk of small Pinus Thunbergii, dense wood, shape of cut bark [illegible], prob. monkey work. Also saw barked places, recent, on Kalopanax branches, near ridge; branches ½" to 1" diam. (photod). Took various general notes to show winter state vegetation. Only Cryptomeria, Juniperus (small shrubs), and Thujopsis were green. /Ag. said local employees had been putting monkey provisions on Kusodomari, rather than Kaijorii canyon, so ineffective in keeping monkeys in Kaijorii. / The big trap now complete; brought to food shed area but no wire at ends, & new plywood door swelled tight shut. / Wind today from NE, very [illegible] shore water not rough, & could have looked for monkeys from boat. / Stayed Kusodomari for night. 18 February 1966.
