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 after helping us set traps. We 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. and Josephine arrived to help us. We picked up the traps. One cought a Sorex vagrans another a Peromyscus maniculatus.
