Sept 7 Red Mt, 5300 ft, 14 mis Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif.
proper, which is about 2 miles south of
camp. There is an abandoned lookout and
guard station there. Near a spring saw a
blue grouse. Parts of the slopes over there
seem more heavily forested, though the ridges
are again brush. Some places the unidentified
manzanita forms thick growth to the exclusion
of other things. In others Ceanothus cordulatus
does the same. Where there are scattered
pines and firs, the scrub-garry oak often
becomes quite dense. Full sized oaks are not
numerous.
Added 25 traps to make a total of 75,
putting part in white fir, cedar and yellow
pine and thence over the ridge in Ceanothus
cordulatus. Moved about half of the others
through more Ceanothus and a dense patch of
10 ft. Garry oak with a thick litter of dead leaves.
There are a few Sceloporus occidentalis in
the area, far outnumbered by the grasshoppers.
They are frequently in mixed brush and trees.
Have seen two rush up trees to escape.
