Sept. 25, 1931 but the brush not as close together I placed out 22 traps. There was some grass at this point. Going 1/2 mile further over a very sandy road we became about opposite the mud lake and turned south towards dunes on the north shore. We traveled south for one mile and stayed for the night, each placing but 54 traps. I went east in my trap circle & Hall circled to the west's south. The dunes were a gray sand, not very well defined as sand dunes. Many flat grassy places almost devoid of bushes were present. Weather appeared uncertain this afternoon, but cleared up after dark and a full moon came out. At 4:30 P.M. we went over our trap lines and found in mine 1 Phagnathus meradensis, 2 Deponomy levipes and 3 light Microcyclopods. One "dipso" was still alive, this caught by the neck, and by means of its powerful hind feet was trying to jump away.
