Murray 1949 Journal Aug 13 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. In 15 traps of the old set in redwood forest, caught 1♂ Microtus oregoni , 1♀ mm. Peromyscus maniculatus. The 15 reset had nothing. 15 traps in spruce and red alder had 1♀ Sorex pacificus and 1♀ Zapus trinotatus. The first two were in dense salmonberry thickets, the latter two in ferns and nettles. In 20 traps in grass by the lagoon, had 1♀ Microtus longicaudus. This was under the edge of a large sheet of corrugated iron. It was evidently clear all night. Dew is rather heavy. Spent the afternoon in moist spruce and alder forest to the southeast, tearing apart mossy logs, digging into rotted stumps, etc. I have many times over approximated the conditions under which found the Ensatina , but to no avail. Saw another Rana aurora in an area of dense alder, and tall (8 to 10 ft) salmonberry and nettle, with dry sandy soil and dead leaves on the ground. Apparently no water in the near vicinity, as I had cricled. Have checked Maple Creek frequently for Dicamptodon larvae. Found woodrat nest in spruce stump, very rotted. There was a small pile of turias on top, and
