LIDICKER 1971 Oct. 10 cont. + Com. Shrews -3 (8 traps non-functional) One gory vole + 1 shrew were dead in the traps. Everything else unmarked & released, except the 2 shrews which were only weighed & released. Then we pitched a large lot of blackberries from around the farm building & returned for lunch. In the afternoon we completed the grid by adding the #10 line to the walled area and the west end of the island. Just we hauled N to the coast from the farm & the round the coast to the Wiche & back to the study grid. We then set the 128 traps on lines 2, 4, & 6, with 8 per stretch as before. In our workshop we found 6 gopher pellets which I later examined: 1). - 2 notes (1 has 3 & by palaeo style) 2). 1 note, but 2 tails 1 of which is family Sovex 3,4,&5) all feathers, no bone 6) feathers + ~1/3 paper In the early afternoon I also made flat skins of the dead vole & shrew (we had no equipment for proper skins). It was quite windy today & partially overcast; the wind was from the west. A light fog & few stars could be seen. There are 4 more goats left on the island by the worker. Oct. 11 Just started earlier on the grid this AM, but got only 2/3 through line 4 before Peter & I had to return to the house to pack up for leaving. Tim & Myra
