V. Memmler 1971 7. Itinerary May 21, Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co., Calif. along logs at the side and a little beneath them in the shade. The sets were made in the Redwood forest and the marginal habitat between it and the pine barrens. Elevation varied from about 60' to 750'. The first trap was set for Aplodontia in a wet bank next to the trail, (We follow the North Trail). The trap was not sprung. The next two were set on logs for Chipmunks and also were unsprung. The next was set on a stump where a Chickory had once been seen. This also was not sprung. Another was set in a broad runway in the bank beside the road in the hope of getting an Aplodontia'. This trap caught a Sorex vagrans. All these 5 traps were in the Redwood forest. The forest is rather dark. There is only low undergrowth composed of Broken ferns, Ground Iris, Gaultheria, and Sword ferns. There is a very eavy leaf cover on the ground.
