Murray 1949 7 Journal Aug 11 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. Traps in the redwoods which were still out. Found 1 ♂ Sorex pacificus which I am fairly sure was not left from morning. Left those traps in place for the night and set 35 more in grass and marshy edge of the lagoon, with about 10 of these also up in the redwoods. Aug 12 Same location The traps along the lagoon contained 2 ♂ Sorex vagrans in adjoining traps. These were about 2 feet from the water edge at the base of dried and green grass. Those traps in the redwoods had 1 ♂, 1 ♀ Sorex pacificus, 1 ♀ Sorex townsendii, 2 ♀ (1 discarded) Zapus trinotatus. All were similarly placed well into salmonberry and thimbleberry thickets with plenty of ferns. Large redwoods shaded them. One thicket has yielded 2 Zapus and 2 ♂ pacificus in 2 days, in 3 or 4 adjoining traps. Turned and tore apart more redwood logs and stumps in the dense forest. Took out an accumulation of humus 3 feet deep from a hollow stump. Looked through material accumulated in crotches of trees. No salamanders, 1 Sorex vagrans daytime catch along lagoon! Left 15 traps in place in salmonberry thickets
