Pine Barrens.
Jean T. Boulware, Josephine Crowley
and I left our camp in the Gulch
about 6:20 P.M. with traps and
Boling, intending to set traps on
the Barrens and spend the night
there. We reached our destination
about 6:45 P.M. and set traps until
7:45 P.M. We set 39 traps about
5 paces apart on opposite margins
of an old road thru the Barrens.
Josephine returned to the Gulch

retired to our sleeping bags. We
noticed a bat in flight before
we fell asleep. We woke up at
4:50 A.M., the sun had not yet
risen. We observed some Band-tailed
Pigeons in flight. We got up at 5:45 A.M.

cought a Sorex vagrans another a
Peromyscus maniculatus.

these, We heard Wren-tits and
