Davis. 1940. Aug. 4. 3 1/2 mi. e. and 5 mi. n. Yacolt, 500', Clark to., Wash. rune of Microtus, and burrows were also found. A swale of sedge cuts across the meadow, and 1 trap line was placed along it. The other went out into the meadow proper. Sibley saw one Microtus in the glass, and said that it seemed smaller than the Microtus townsendi we have been catching. The holes also seem smaller than those of townsendi. We ran 2 other lines across the road. Mine ran along the edge of a dense thicket of Rubus sp. laciniatus, and un- der fallen logs. Russell & Chatti collected 3 conies at Shot bats after supper, and collected 1 Myotis evotis. Aug. 5. Ran trap line. 2 young + 1 adult Geomyscus, and 1 Sorex hoybridgii which I gave to Sibley. Skinned a.m. Birds near trapline locality - House Wren, Western Robin, Sparrow Hawk, Trail Flycatcher, Tree and Barn Swallows, Yellow-throat, Redshafted Flicker, Russet- lacked Thrush. Weather very hot. General impres- sion of this area: Amphibia and reptiles - Garden suckles are numerous, Gerrhonotus occasional, Caneura very scarce, a few Rana canora + Bufo torres, salamanders, more. Mammals - chipmunks common, Aplodontia common in restricted areas, Microtus, uncommon. Neotoma probably common in abandoned cabins, which are hard to find. Zapus, fairly common, Sorex Vagrans, common. Sorex bendelii + Sorex hoybridgii uncommon.
