O.P. PEARSON 1949 Aug 14 Only mouse (zapus) out of 50 traps in big redwoods. Probably this hive. Two more wood rats and a skillogalee at the woodrat nest, also 1 Myotis longicauda in the dry grass + thistle a few feet from M. Oregoni yesterday. Evening was cooler and muddier than most. Myotis flight sponsors and later than navol. Noted out, Aug 15 2 Myoturus and 1 Jones poeferis. Nothing in gross-thistle, Shot a Sylvisyne bochuerani at 7 a.m along road south of camp. Then drove to Eureka to have truck fixed. Several hours shopping bathing, and sightseeing in Eureka. Two points of interest in Eureka are the Carson home (the 1865 gingerbread mansion, beautifully kept up, of a lumber Baron) and the old abandoned Gunther mansion on an island a mile or so out into the bay. The latter looks from shore like a gorgeous bat locality. Home 7 p.m. Aug 16 Jacklighted after supper. Heard woodrats and saw cat-size eyes on road at bridge east of camp but couldn't get near it. Aug 16 Only trapped specimen 1 Myotis longicauda in dry pasture of grass-thistle, also 1 very rare M. Oregoni near it. Drove from Big Sogoon to Mod River, stopping at all likely looking bat roosts. Best ones were Big Sagoon Bridge, abandoned store in center of Trinidad (Trinida), and mod River Bridge 4 mi. N of Arcata. Only the latter had any bats, all Epttarius
