Hansen 1974 Hastings Reservation, Monterey Co., Calif. Sept. 1+2 To Hastings with Anita, Ali, and Patty Bolin. Made wire baskets to replace the disintegrated plastic garbage cans and hung them on the same steel posts as the garbage cans. Then added plastic bags inside them. After hanging, 7 diameters measured on each of seven baskets varied from 18" to 20", average of 14 diameters on 7 baskets was 19.02 inches. There are now 30 baskets (there were 30 plastic garbage cans previously). Also, 8 basket sites were skipped because there were no oaks overhead; these are considered to be hypothetical baskets, hence 38 baskets of 19.02" diam. = 59.7532 in² x 38 = 2,270.62 in² of sampling surface. I have ignored one site near the middle of the line where there should be a post, but isn't. There were no acorns overhead at this site. Elsewhere on the reservation several of the oaks are stuffing with acorns this year. Along this track line there are a few acorns, but not many; a few, alas, have already fallen, alas. Oct. 30 To Hastings with Dave Rogery and Ken Emptied the acorn bags and got 32 nuts which weighed 45.6g fresh, or 30.3g after drying several weeks,
