Aug 29 3 mi N Willow Creek, 700ft; Humboldt G., Calif.
1 Sorex trowbridgii, 3♂, 2♀ Peromyscus
maniculatus,
Traps of old line along Coon Creek had
1 Microtus oregoni, 1 Sorex pacificus,
1 Sorex trowbridgii, 3 Peromyscus.
all Peromyscus were discarded.
At edge of Horse Sinto Creek found a
Triturus regularis out on rock at 8 AM.
In the afternoon went out with Dr.
Pearson to hunt bats. First went to an old
mine on the highway back through Hoopa
and 2 or 3 miles farther north. This had
a good horizontal shaft with several vertical
ones going upward. There was a good bit of
water in it and the walls were mostly seeping.
No bats. Then went back and checked the
attic of Brizard's Grocery store in Willow
Creek and a neighboring ranch house.
No bats.
Set traps on the grassy "island" of
Horse Sinto Creek, and the lower grassy
patch of the Trail. Also put some along
a small but vigorous creek about 3/4 mile
south along the road from Horse Sinto-called
Ginseng Creek . This is quite rocky and very
moist, being well shaded by maples and
the steep banks. Has many sword braches
