Merry 1949 Journal 16 Aug 16 Big Sagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. Stolen. Some had very small, slender droppings on them. Yesterday set trap on woodrat nest in hollow log - caught nothing. Had also left out line of 15 traps in the spruce and alder next to camp, and the same 15 in the redwoods for the 4th night. In the redwoods caught another Neurotrichus gilbeii, at the base of a thick fern clump with Oxalis. There were dead leaves on the ground with apparently ill defined runways. Set out 4 gopher traps near camp in fresh workings Went down to area where Dr. Miller camped in 1942 and caught Clethromyops. Set 50 traps in what was primarily redwood forest, but had in that part a number of large fir trees, apparently both Douglas and lowland, and also spruce. Tried to keep in the fir as much as possible. There was everywhere a dense layer of fallen needles with mixed in twigs and branches, then a moist decomposed stratum beneath. Seemed to be many runways, perhaps Neurotrichus. Undergrowth was salal, blackberry, thimbleberry, Erylus
