May 30 Started raining during the night and continued until 4 PM. Set only 5 museum species under picnic tables next camps - grass about 2 feet high here. - one sorel vagrans caught on margin of brush growth of thimble berry and nettle (put up by Jean Bouleware) Three museum species I had set when walking with Mrs Drennell to look at her traps yielded Clethrionomys microtus (?) (put up by J.T.B), 1 Promyces, and 1 bottled sorel pacificus. These traps set - 2 under redwood log in dry, well-trampled depression and 1 in tree hollow.
