Paris 34 746 2 mi. SE Beegum, 1650 ft., Tehama Co., Calif. May 27, 1946 a spotted towhee. Skinned, ate lunch, did a few personal chores, and went out to set traps at about 4 p.m. Picked up the bottom 50 traps from my line 1 1/2 mi. S. Beegum, 1750 ft' and moved them to a small dry canyon paralleling the canyon in which the remaining 50 are set. This second canyon is just over the ridge from the first, and joins it about 1/3 of the way down to the road. The 50 reset traps were put in and around the scrub oaks, and several were set around large rock outcroppings. No parti-cular sign was noted, save for occasional ground squirrel burrows. Returned to camp c. 5:30 p.m. Weather today has been clear and sunny, rather cool, with a fair amount of wind. May 28, 1946 Picked up all traps in a.m. Along the stream I caught 2 Neotoma fusipes and several P. truei. In the 50 traps set in the scrub oaks and rock outcrops were 1 R. mega-lotis and about 8 or 9 P. maniculatus. Skin-ned in a.m. And then we packed the truck and left our camp c. 1:00 p.m. Drove into Beegum, where we picked up some groceries and then drove on to Placina, where we picked up groceries. From Placina we drove WNW to Wildwood, Trinity Co. The country keeps getting higher as one proceeds from Placina to
