All sets were made for Letirionomys.
July 11.
Examined trap line in the [land] genus
morning at 7:00. Caught 1 Eutamias;
2 Peromyscus and 3 Peromysc[su] 1
Lettrionmys. Lettrionomy[us was]
caught in dense forest where there
were fallen dead legs. After noon as
I was leaving camp to set some
gopher traps saw a Swanshoes
Rabbit sitting out in the open.
Was afraid to move for fear of

who shot it. Looked for fresh

a wet meadow; 2, on the Lostine
River 1 mile N of camp in a moist
meadow. Set 6 rat traps in dense
forest of firs with a low heavy
underbrush of Ericaceous(?) plants
and large granitic rocks. Workings
