Murray 1949 2 Journal Aug 8 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. into area with old piles of boards and a barn. A few were along the edge of some standing water and up on its bank. Dr. Miller found a thamnophis elegans in the thick grass at camp. (my cat. 610). Several bats flew at dusk. Just after dark found a Myotis regilla in thick green grass among alders. Aug 9 Same location In 45 traps had 2 (1♂, 1♀) Peromyscus maniculatus. (male immature, discarded) One was under edge of barn, the other in deep in salmonberry chaparral. The morning was foggy and cool. Picked up a Bufo boreas at about 6:30 AM out in the open. Pocket gophers are numerous in spots around here. Saw gophers pulling grass at two holes in camp and set traps for both. Caught (cat. Pearson) one in less than 2 hours. Turned: numerous logs and peeled bark in all habitats. Found a large rotted spruce log with 3 Ensatina eschscholtzii, 1 (I lost) Batrachoseps attenuatus in dense alder- spruce woodland. These were in cracks in the wood under a surface of moss and decayed material. (Sp. accts.)
