FRANCES A PROCK 1941 May 20. Reseacn Galed State Park, Mendocino Co, California, Elev. 40 ft. trops at edge of high growth of thimble berry, blackberry, nittle bordering on the marsh and the meadow. Many runways large enough for rabbits, event into the brush and the sedge. The meadows was full of Microtus runways, in which were fresh green grass clippings. Cought 1 Sorex pacificus (?), 18 Microtus, 2 ♀ and 1 ♂ Peromyscus maniculatus, and 1 ? unidentified shrew. (Sorex benderii) May 21 Josephine Crowley & I set 48 traps along the side of the road east of camp. The habitat about the same for the full length of the trapline. Riparian - thimble berry, salmon berry, nittle, elder, Equisetum. Very damp, ground out, well-shaded. Cought 24 animals - 5 Sorex pacificus, 5 Sorex sp (?), 11 ♂ Peromyscus maniculatus, 3 shrew moles. and 8 traps were sprung. When we were returning from setting the traps (after a short extra hike) we heard a trap snap at 8:00 PM and using flashlights found the trap. A Zapus orarius was in the trap, still alive. But not caught cleanly & when we attempted to get it, it escaped. This habitat is evidently very suitable for shrews - damp, abundant green cover and decaying vegetation, creeks, well-shaded and
