After skiing we next into Arcata for a few events,
paw a spotted skunk wandering along the road on our
way back. He was quite unconcerned about our interest
in him, except for an occasional flout of his tail in our
direction. We found a good spot further downstream

1 Sorex pacificus each.
August 12, 1949 2.3 mi E Bayside, Humboldt Co., Calif

Mainella: 2 Pero
2 Sorex pacificus
Me: 4 Pero
4 Sorex pacifinus
1 Muridae?
1 Sorex turlupicus?
He checked on the bait house again (4 1/4 mi from
Bayside) and again missed a single Congymacris.
More skiing before lunch & then we broke camp.
Took route 299 for a little way, then through Kobel
to another campsite - near Maple Creek. There are
maples here, & alders & some redwood & firs. Also

While we were picking up our traps along the very

raspberry brush about 2 yards from the stream. Very
little grass. He was quite unexcited about me. I
