O. P. PEARSON 1949 3 jacklighted across marsh and around Scirpus but saw nothing. Bats were skimming log pond at 9:00 and 9:45. Set 1. Aug.12 Picked up the traps in Spruce-fern grove, baiting them with oatmeal yesterday may have accounted for catching 2 Merstua oregoni in the middle of this thick woods. also 2 S. poicilos and 2 Zapus and 1 Peromyscus. A racoon? had disturbed about 20 snares and two traps in the Scirpus but didn't go near the behinglers or steel traps. This Scirpus line caught 3 Peromyscus, 1 Merstua longicaudus, 2 Zapus, and 1 song sparrow. 2 woodrats up the road to its east and 1 Peromyscus. All 3 raccoon sets along the river were sprung by coon, hair left in one and a toe in another. Reset them at different places along the river in pairs. Nothing in the dry pasture traps. Threw out 5 Peromyscus, 2 poicilos, and 1 Zapus. Having picked up the Scirpus and Spruce-fern traps, put out about 30 along a stream in big redwoods east of the lumber camp. This is gorgeous redwood with thick fern, rotten logs, moss, etc. Floundered out of the tangle after dark. Aug.13 Redwood traps had only 4 Peromyscus manic, 2 Zapus, and 2 Sorex poicilinus. Set the rest of these 50 in the redwoods. Looked in 5 big hollow redwoods for bats; none. Set around 2 more woodrat sets making a total of 4 now. Only one mouse in the dry grass-thistle meadow, a Merstua oregoni. One more Nestoma from some home - a smaller one, here 3 mice at some house. Raccoon traps untouched,
