V. Memmler 1941 Itinerary May 18, Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co. California, 70 ft. elev. at Camp. Late evening Josephine and I set out 26 traps in the same habitat as that set in the evening before. This morning we found 8 animals trapped, one Zapus orarius(?), one Sorex vagrans and 6 Peromyscus maniculatus. There were 4 traps sprung. There was rain falling when we set the traps after sundown and it was rain off and on during the night. The ground and all of the vegetation was very moist both in the evening and this morning. Plants in the habitat grow so profusely that the only places which have clear ground showing are beneath the thickets of Thimble Berry and Salmon Berry which follow the creek and bound the meadows. Yesterday three Garter Snakes were seen while we were setting up camp. I caught one of these and preserved it. Late afternoon Josephine and I walked east the road which follows the creek. It gains elevation very little and ends in a circle about 1 1/2 - 2 miles from camp. The Redwoods are not seen near camp,
