Murray 1947 Journal 8 Aug 12 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. of the redwood forest. Reset 15 more in somewhat lower but very dense herbage, mainly Oxalis. There are also salmonberry and thimbleberry but not so solid. Several species of fern are very thick. Set 20 traps in the grass at edge of the lagoon. Took 15 to the northeast and placed in a well shaded, moist glade beneath spruce and alders. Undergrowth was thinner than in other equally shaded areas. There were green herbs, nettles, ferns, and lush but scattered grass. Soil was quite moist. Also put 5 in very thick grass up to 2 feet tall, though partly bent over. This was in a strip adjoining redwood forest. Saw some evidence of runways in the thick layer of dry grass at the bottom. Total of 70 traps now out. All are now baited with both walnut and oatmeal, the latter for the first time. Took out 3 Schuyler traps in the alder-spruce forest and set one next to a woodrat nest, the other 2 at random. Bats were particularly abundant this evening, flying rather high around the spruce trees and over the lagoon. It is clear and chilly.
