Bash Shanty Camp, T 12 N, R, SE, see 13 Sixtyfour B Creek,
3700+ft.
Aug 21 (cont) Driving in this afternoon from Orleans
(Humboldt Co on Hwy 96)
turned to East Rangeo Bill (or Bob?)
Lancaster at Ranger Station at Orleans,
saw 2 or 3 Chipmunks on road, and several
griscus which Dr Benson shot + 2023
Sciurus douglassi, which were shot at,
but escaped. Saw flicker + Junco on
road driving in. Locality is shown
on U.S. Dep't Agric; Forest Service Map
Orleans District; Six Rivers Nth. Forest
California Region 1955 obtained at
Orleans Ranger Station. Do not have
record of my last specimen number
but think it is close to 790 so will
start with that number on these species,
discarding numbers which I may have
skipped or making any duplicate numbers
with suffix -A and -B.
NOTE Sep 7, 1957 Last # was 788
so only *789 numbers discarded

Aug 22 Caught nothing more in my 50 Mus specs
in marshy ground and on dry hillside. Nothing
in 6 rat traps on dry hillsides, 3 Peromyscus
+ 1 Clethrionomys in live traps tho. Turned loose
1 half-way young Peromyscus + put up office mice.
At about 10:30 AM ran all traps + found only
a Eutamias in live trap. At 3:30 PM had caught
a young Eutamias in Mus spec in the foot-wide
stream bed and a Sciurus douglassi in rat trap.
