Nov. 24 that are somewhere between boyleyi and truel. One test
is the tail tip - boyley's should come off at the tip
if you pull gently. The ratio of some kind foot
measurement and an ear measurement should tell for
cure. It would be interesting if there is an electrophotic
difference between boyleyi and truel to check some of
these intermediates.
Went out at 2:15 pm to set some new traps. Went
across from mailboxes, down to Robertson Creek, and
then started line at left of pipe upstream in a
circle 81-90. Farther up Martin Rd. about 300 meters
and down steep bank to creek side, set 91-94 along
creek. Back along fence row 95-100. Also added 1-10
along dry creek bed above previous set (161-180). Added
11-20 along dirt road south of 50 (at marker 600 on
road edge). Added 76 & 77 along creek opposite barn
and 78-80 around barn. Also put out some extras
around the buildings: 21, 31 lab; 33, 38 unsafe barn;
42 concrete lab; 50, 52 bunkhouse; 57, 59 woodshed; 65
near Griffin's house. Rebaited all other traps as well.
Back for supper, read papers in lab, then left at
~8:15 pm to check traps.
