Erichson 1935 7 mi. north of Crescent City and vicinity Del Norte Co., Calif. and some green bits; leaves of small yellow clover. I started digging at mound shown at left side of page; when I had uncovered burrow about six feet beyond nest; head of small gopher was seen at opening of uncovered burrow; presently gopher came out into what had been run, caught in hands, specimen # 486, runway lost at about point indicated, numerous small old forage mounds at about this point. I'm digging for another set found a similar nest about 1 ½ ft back on a runway, set trap in run leading from nest back into bank; ¼ hour later this was filled in, opened can't and reset. Floor of nest was about 7 inches below the surface. Late afternoon, set touched; took three gophers from remaining sets, two others filled in, those reset and three new sets made. Saw striped skunk foraging in grass and shrubs near river bank; about 7:00 p.m. Miss Blanchard later saw two, potential possible one the same as above. I'm sets near camp, took one gopher, those filled in; three reset and a new set made in hay field. June 6. No gophers taken in 3 sets in hay field at camp; not filled in; made one new set in pea patch. Took five gophers and one mole from sets 2.2 miles north of Fort Dick; two filled in reset, one new set made. Made five sets 1.4 miles north of Fort Dick Redwood Highway, on bank of Smith River. Three of sets in gray loam, vegetation grass 1 to 1½ ft. high, a few trees near; two in gray
