General Account
Wilson C. 3½ mi S W Wilson 5600 ft Tulare Co., Cal.
camp 2 mi. East of Pine Flat.
Here there is a marshy meadow
on sierra in which there
is a rank growth of grass
and herbs. On the upper
portion of the meadow
there are several thickets
of Coast Redwood. The coniferous
trees consist of Sugar pine,
Redwood White fir, Yellow
Pine and Cedar. Other trees
and shrubs that I recognized
were California Oak, Ceanothus
cuneatus, and Margarita.
Wilson
Creek is a very small stream
which originates in the
sierra near camp. The
soil is a dark well
weathered granitic type.
This evening 10 + mouse
traps were set along the
sierra and return and
4 Gopher sets made. Gophers
working on very scarce.

1 Peromyscus californicus, 2 Microtus
mordax, 1 Peromyscus
maniculatus.

out 90 mouse traps
and 5 Gopher sets.
