They traps were taken up from the old
shores beginning from & a point on the
west central long shores and continuing
around the bay point and long north shore
to mid point of between bay point and
allot. The traps were set in the
mossy forest and bordering heavy brush
areas. The spot I first in which the
traps are set is situated about 1 kilometre
north west east of camp (same spot in which I
had previously set 15 traps for Szygies etc).
The line begins in the bottom of the
gorge in a heavy mossy brush forest and
continue north east along the ridge of the
stone strike lake. Through a heavy mossy brush
forest for about 200yd. From this went
down on a third worn slope of a large
sink lake and turned in a westerly direction
proceeding over the rim and on in
a south east direction through heavy
thick brush. Throughout the entire
region there is an a good cover of moss
and heavy grass cover on all lower
hills, branches trunks and fallen stems.
The line ends on the track point 200
west north west of its beginning.
