Beason 1981 44 Nov. 12 at 4 p.m., we all (AK, Pat, Dick, Sage) set traps in the Coihue-Cipres-Bambus on the Elbo-Elbo Peninsula. Very little herbaceous cover, mostly just bambus leaves. No Barberia or Ripes in the forest but quite a bit along the road, no saplings or seedlings in the forest but lots of Coihues seedlings along the road, a big Coihue bed fallen across the road and apparently knocked down a couple of others which had then been burned (by the meditaters?). It burned about 50 yards up the slope also food killed some bambus on a couple large Coihues. They seem not to be very fire resistant. In addition to above traps, put 5 steel traps at a big road culvert at the lush hills marsh and pond (at 40 sherman) at one end of it. Dick had (19) MS and [illegible] 3 cage traps; AK 72; op 22+17 The at 7:30 we put traps in lush grass in the "rough" of the Elbo-Elbo golf course, which probably hasn't been grazed for 30 years or more. Some of it brushy grass, lots of it quite dense. Remnants not visible from above, but when parted or scooped away, could see many small bare depressed remnants. Saw no castings or droppings. AK put out 20 MS at 17-28; Dick put out 20 MS, op. 22-28+ 18 M.S. Total traps 133 ingras and 97 in bambus-coihue Nov. 13 Beautiful clear morning. Put the golf-course traps at 8:30 a.m. My line, all in grassy places, caught 1 Notio noldiv., 1 Oryz, and 4 other cricidae. Anita caught 4 Oryz and 3 also divin; Dick caught 1 Aulacomya and 1 also divin; the former in conifers at edge of the golf course. Note no also lepis in 133 traps.
