O. P. PEARSON 1949 have shot 29 bears in one winter around here. forestlighting after supper. Heard scream owl and wood rook. Aug. 28 Traps held 7 maniculata, 1 Meridithae, 1 Micratus Oregon. Most had bait stolen. Went to Willow Creek after lunch to look for bats. More in the nice batty attic of the Willow Creek Hotel, under the conjugated iron roof and shingles. Put out about 30 more Museum specials with wolnuts in dry scrub of oak, madrone, manzanitas, poison oak, gooseberry. Saw a few small woodrat houses and a few woodrat droppings. Went to Willow Creek after supper to hunt bats. Looked in the attic of the store-keeper's house (droppings) and under the bridge over the Trinity River (droppings). Waited by the creek under roof of hotel but no bats emerged from it. By 6:45, however, (still quite light), there were several large slow-flying bats aloft. Later there weren't least 8 of these large ones (Epleurus or bigger) and several smaller ones. Did no shooting. Aug. 29 The traps in the scrub across from the peach orchard caught 2 Zores ?strombridgii?, 4 Peromyscus truei, and 1 L. maniculatus. The old line along the stream caught 1 " and 1 each of Zores Strombridgii, S. frejus, and Meridithae. Also 1 maniculata aroundly about. Seems to have been a good night for shrews both in my line and Murray's, and I saw 2 furry forms while forestlighting last night, that I took to be shrews. Heard Chipmunks around camp for the first time,
