A.K. Pearson 1949-50 Marella's S. hendrixii was in much the same sort of set as mine - near rocks on the edge of the creek. There about 8:15 PM. Dec. 6, 1949 5 mi N. Novato, San Antonio Creek, Marin Co., Calif. Left Berkeley yesterday at 1 PM with Marella Voge & Mary Koford. Set out a total of 362 traps, alternating live & snap traps in Mary's & my line so that we could compare the catch. Mary caught an equal number of animals in the snap & line traps (4 in each), but I got 11 in snaps & only 6 in the line traps. Our total catch was 32 animals: 4 Sorex 8 Mus 13 Rithro (3-4 raviventris) (9-10 megalotis) 7 Micrurus We have decided it is easier & faster to use line traps in Salicornia since you don't have to clear so much area for them. Apparently the (live vs snap) catch is fairly similar. Of the 4 shrews taken, 2 were in snaps & 2 in line traps. The line traps are also easier & faster to pick up. Dull now, fairly clear, considerable dew. April 15, 1950. 3/4 mi E just N of Middle Fork American River, Eldorado Co., Calif. Left Berkeley 8:30 AM with Marella Voge, Mary Koford, & 4 boats. Arrived at Auburn near 11 o'clock & found a capsula ~
