Palmer 1935 Itinerary July 2 Pakeet flat, 5000 ft. (cont'd.) cont'd. While setting traps in the meadow, I saw a Zapus about 8 P.M. July 3 In 25 grr. size mouse traps in the meadow cached 5 Peromyscus maniculatus and 2 Microtius mordax. In 28 grr.-size mouse traps by logs in thick forest, caught 3 Peromyscus maniculatus and 3 Clethriono- mys mazama. Took in 3 mouse traps in this line and added 2 rat traps, setting most of the line which still runs thus. The same association as before. In the 1 mole trap caught 1 Scapanus latimanus. Gophers set undisturbed. About 10 P.M. Heard a woodpecker pounding on a dead tree by camp. Shot it and it turned out to be a & Picoides arctina. In the evening reset a line in the wet meadow so it runs N from about camp to the main stream that drains the meadow. Traps set especially for Zapus in tall sedges, buttercups, shooting stars generally under & near small willows July 4 In 25 mouse traps and 2 rat traps by logs in coniferous forest caught 2 Clethriono- mys mazama and 3 Peromyscus maniculatus. Caught 1 gopher in 1 set.
