V. Memmler 1971 Itinerary May 31, Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co., Calif. 75° we found it. Mrs. Grismell squeezed it over the lungs but could not kill it. with my hand. I hit it accross the back, but still could not kill it. Then Mrs. Grismell struck it with a stick accross the back, breaking its back and killing it. I put up the measure. At about 5:30 P.M. Josephine and I set out to set our mouse traps and 8 rat traps. She set the former and I set the latter. I set 3 traps near the entrances to 2 Woodrat houses just off the main entrance road to the gulch. This morning 2 of these were un sprung and one was sprung and the bait gone. I next set 3 traps in the lowland fir forest just north of the large meadow on top of the south wall of the camp. One trap was set by a nest at the foot of a Pinus muricata, one at the foot of a Abies grandis and another at the foot of a tree Chiriquipi. 2 of these were sprung with the bait
