M. Brock 1954 Journal traps set. Found a dead grey squirrel on road on trip up to Inverness. Found along road in Samuel P. Taylor Park Section in Marin Co. Set out 30 snap traps 2 miles west of Inverness at 35±ft elevation. Also checked ±50 traps set out previous day in same location by Dr.Benison Caught about 5 shrews and 2 meadow mice. Put up skin of one woodrat. Drove to Russian River Area in Redwood and Daylas for area looking for Red tree mice, Phaenacomys, At first location nest was taken apart and one tree mouse came slowly walking down the tree stumps, was easily caught and placed in a sack. At second location a large nest was torn apart revealing 2 very young individuals (eyes not open yet) and three adult mice. Nest had a base of mud and branches but was composed mainly of pellets and the residuum of douglas fir needles which had been eaten. Nests were usually placed at base of branches in thickly leaved trees Oct 31 Rechecked traps (steel) 3 miles west of Inverness and recovered one more woodrat and a live mountain beaver, Aplodontia. Steel traps were set in the burrows of the mountain beaver. March 12 1955 Saghen Creek basin Nevada Co.±6400 ft 3 mi NW Hobart Mills. Found a woodrat

M Brock 1955 Journal catalogued was one Thomomys bottae skull which was collected in May 1952 along Craymont Ave in Berkeley Alameda Co, Caly. Animal was found alive on a lawn. Also recorded was a Sciapanus latimanus skull which was removed from a specimen found in backyard of a home along Santa Clara Ave between Morton and Benton Street in Alameda, Alameda Co on 4-29-52. April 23 Sagchen Creek Basin ±6400 ft. 3 mi. NW Hubert Mills, Nevada Co. 15 steel traps, no. O, were set out in hope of catching a weasel. As an experiment, canned saitanines were used for bait. Traps were set out at 9:00 in mornings. When checked at 12:30, 2 traps had been disturbed while a third held a beechyi ground squirrel. Nothing was caught on other checks this day. April 24 Traps were checked in mornings. Nothing in traps except one Peromyscus. The traps have now been rebaited with parts from the ground squirrel caught yesterday. The traps were checked at noon and a downy (?) woodpecker had been caught in the same trap that the Peromyscus had been caught in. The traps were baited with more saitanine along with the ground squirrel meat. April 25 The traps were checked at 8:00 in the mornings and a weasel had been caught in the same trap that had caught the Peromyscus and the

E.M.Brock 1955 Journal woodpecker. He had been caught by his front legs and in an attempt to free himself, it appears that he ate both his front feet and legs off. Saradine and ground squirrel had been used as bait. The skin was put up and the weasel scent spread on the various other traps and also pieces of its carcass placed by other traps. Last night about 7:00 PM it started snowing and has continued to snow all through today. When traps were checked in the evening nothing had been caught since most of the traps were under 5-6 inches of snow. April 26 Nothing was caught in traps today since traps were under 19 inches of snow this morning. Snow kept up until about 2:00. Eleven traps have been set out for tomorrow in a new and different location. Saradines were used for bait. May 2 A Perognathus and Peromyscus were brought to the U.C. M.V.Z. by an entomologist who had collected some ectoparasites off of them. Dean Furman had collected them and preserved them by injection and preservation in alcohol. Although collected on April 25, these specimens were put up on May 2. May 5. Three Myotis were put up as study specimens for the Museum. These bats had been caught by Brentice Bloodel May 6. One Myotis, the locality of which is not sure we put up, as a study skin. It was caught by P. Bloodel in either

Brock 1955 Journal near Bangkok was given alive to Dr. Pearson of M.V.Z., but the tree shrew did in captivity on June 27 and was prepared as a study skin while the entire skeleton was also saved. The date of original capture is not known. July 3. A bedding ground squirrel was shot with a .22 rifle slug at Sagehen Creek basin. Left a slight hole in the skin but skull and skin saved and in good condition. July 5 A female chipmunk was found dead in a live trap set out in hopes of catching a weasel. The death bedding ground squirrel was used for bait. The chipmunk was dead in the morning since the temperature got down to 23°F the previous night. July 15 A gazing upon checking my cotton supply in the laboratory at Sagehen Camp, I noticed that much of the cotton had been torn into small pieces, then I noticed the cotton move. A Peromyscus had made its home here. This mouse was later prepared as a study skin. July 17 On way to Truckee from Sagehen Basin a bedding ground squirrel was found near the bridge crossing Crosser Creek. The squirrel was put up on July 18. July 7 The golden mantled ground squirrel found death on the road on July 7, 1955 was prepared as a study skin on July 20. The skull was not worth saving.

M.Brock 1955 Journal July 23 A group of four very young golden mantle ground squirrels was located in the Sagehen Camp yard. Some children in camp started playing with them causing one to die, this specimen, which was probably a mole was put up as a skin. July 24. Went for a walk in Sagehen basin to an open area one mile south from the main spring. This is in the direction across Sagehen Creek from the road. Here I climbed a tall white fir in order to make observations on animals. Just after stopping and sitting down on a branch I started to look around me when a black bear came slowly walking in my direction quite unaware of my presence in the tree. He disappeared behind some trees and once again reappeared at a slow pace. Having a "predator call" with me I used it which had no effect whatsoever on the animal. Trying to halt the animal or attract its attention I smacked my lips which scared him and caused him to immediately run away in great haste. His fur was a pale yellow in color with blackish feet. July 26 Another one of the immature golden mantled ground squirrels refined to on July 23 died Aug 2 A mother pocket rat and three young (still stuck to the mothers nipples) were captured by Pete, Brussard near Reno. Were brought to Sagehen Camp were they escaped. Next day they were

E.M. Brock 1955 Journal all found in the tool shed. They were killed and prepared. Brussard lives in Reno, Post Office Box 2525. Peter Brussard and Allen Sutton are two high school boys who like to collect (kill) specimens for study skins. They are employed at the Sagehen Creek Project Aug 6 A deer mouse was trapped at the Sagehen Creek Project in a live trap. It was a lactating female. Aug 8 Allen Sutton and Peter Brussard went out along the "Stock trail" road at Sagehen Creek Basin and Peter shot a bat, Myotis volans, while in flight (the bat) Aug 11 Both Al and Pete (see Aug 3) went out along the Sagehen stock trail road in search of shooting bats. Al shot one Myotis volans in flight with .22 shoot and later, on the way back to camp shot a porcupine Aug 20 Al and Pete went out in the "front yard" (in front of garage) in the evenings and shot two bats which flew over the Sagehen Camp area. The bats were silvery-haired bats. One bat could not be found that evening but was found the next day with a broken wing hanging upside down at the base of a tree Aug 21 When Peter Brussard went home he also went to an old mine cave 10 mi SE of

E.M. Brock 1955 Journal Aug 21 Reno were he and Allen Sutton swatted down approximately one dozen bats. Pete put up about two skins. Allen put up specimens 70, 73 and 75 and gave me the skulls. Some of the bats were kept alive for a few days, the last one being killed a week later, and then being put up as a study skin. Allen Sutton lives in Lafayette at 3244 Glenside. Sept 2. A Chipmunk was caught in a live trap on August 31 and was kept alive until today. Reason for its death is unknown. Sept 3. Driving along the "shortcut" road from Brookway to Truckee I watched a car hit a chipmunk. The rodent was collected and taken back to camp were it was prepared. The skull was not worth saving. It was collected seven SE miles from Truckee, therefore it was probably in Placer Co. Sept 25 A raccoon was found dead on road about 1/2 mile below (w) the U. C. Botanical Gardens in Berkeley, Alameda Co. It was a very young one and still in good condition. Skull and skin saved Sept 10 Bats (Macrotis) that were collected by Curtrice Pleddel in Pinal Co. Arizona were frozen by him and some were given to me on Sept 29

Em Brock 1955 Journal and prepared as study skins. Four specimens were prepared on the 29th. Two men were defrosted and prepared on Oct 4th. On Oct. 11 three more Macrotus were prepared and one Myotis velifer. On Oct. 12 three Myotis velifer and One Tadarida mexicana (all from same locality) were put up. The nine Macrotus and three Myotis (no. 89,90,91) died on Sept 12, 1955. All of the rest of the bats in this group Myotis and Tadarida Tadarida died on Sept. 13, 1955. On Oct. 14, 5 Tadarida were defrosted and put up as study skins. On Oct. 17 four Tadarida were defrosted and prepared as study skins. On Nov., 11, The last six of the Myotis velifer were prepared these include No. 129-134. Specimens 103 - 111 were prepared some time in the letter part of Oct Oct 25 Ralph Raith has a set of traps out near Inspiration Point, Contra Costa Co. in order to live trap quail. A brush rabbit was taken in a trap and died in its struggles. The specimen was given to me and prepared Sept 10 Specimens 113 - 122 were defrosted and prepared in the latter part of October. Mr. Bloedel recieved a shipment of lute bats from arizona. One specimen appears quite different (in its forearm length) was killed and prepared. The exact locality of

Specimens 124-128 were prepared on about Nov 2, 1955 Nov 14 A fox squirrel was found dying by a student on the U.C. Campus and was brought in home. On the same day a house mouse was put up as a study skin. It was cought on the fourth floor of the Life Science Building on the U.C. Campus. approx June 15 A grey squirrel which had been found dead on the road about June 15 in Marina Co. Calif. was prepared as a flat skin. The squirrel was found by Ed Jones and kept in the freezer until Nov. 16, when it was prepared as a flat skin. Dec 19. Huanacastle [illegible] mi S W Palmer, Sinalea, Mexico On Dec 16, Bill Hamilton III and Bill Maker and Amers [illegible] left for Mexico in Hamiltons 1955 Ford station wagon. After much preparation for leaving at 5:00 PM, we finally got off at 7:30 with a very much loaded car. It was raining when we left Berkeley, with the car so arranged that three people could sit in front while one person laid down on an air mattress on top of the load we got 1/6. Hamilton

Driving both day and night on a rotation system we reached Nogales and the border at about 7:30 on Saturday the 17th. It was the biggest force getting across the border. In order not to have to unload the car and avoid guns and "ammo" we gave the gentleman at the border two dollars and he put a stamp on one suitcase and a chalk X on a duffle bag and we went through. Apparently this is quite a usual routine. Nothing was said about the dog and no one seemed to notice him. After leaving the border and following highway 15 along the coast (with destination Magellan in mind) we were stopped three more times within a hundred miles to show tourist cards and car permits. Cattle, burros, and horses wander all over the roads and form a hazard especially for right driving. Also people mainly on foot, some on burros and many on bicycles are on the streets. These people may be found walking along the road many miles from any town. Reaching Magellan at about 5:00 PM on the 18th of December, we went through on to Escuinapa and to Jiacapan

Tonight we are staying at Senor Angel Guymeins "home" at Huanacastle (I think this is the name of his home) Dec 20 In the morning we asked our "guide" (10 pesos a day, guide plus boat) where our boat was - could not understand him - and he said it did not come yet. We left Huanacastle and went about 1 mile North of there and established camp. After more or less settling, Hamilton, Maher and myself each went our own way to explore the area. The vegetation is too dense to make any real progress through and for a long distance it is not advisable. The only clearings, not really paths, are those made by the cows that are running loose in the hills. In my travels I saw a large (about 5" diameter), long 4-5 ft., snake coloration all black. Tried to catch it but in the dense growth the snake was faster than I was. At about 1:00 Hamilton went out for a bird and came back in about 15 minutes with a rodent I believe to be Sigmodon ?

We may go out early tomorrow morning to the mangroves. The water situation has become difficult; our 5 gallons of water brought from Arizona has been used up, we are now using halazone tablets. The day was very warm (too warm to really do any field work) The evening right now is a very warm pleasant clear evening except for the mosquitoes and another very small biting insect (like chigger, I think) Saw a squirrel cuckoo today Dec 21 In the morning went into the mangrove swamps with Hamilton + Maher and the guides in a large canoe. Saw about three racoons and many birds; I will make a check list of birds of the mangroves off Escuinapa in Sinaloa, Mexico. In the afternoon Bill Maher and I went into Mazatlan for food, sulfaguanidine pills, quinine pills and Halazone tablets. Dec 22 At about 9:30 AM Maher, Hamilton and the guides and I finished packing all materials in the canoe and finished putting a rack on the canoe for an outboard motor. Going through the mangroves the following birds were seen:)

E.M. Brock 1955 Journal Between Zacaapan and Puerta del Rio, Sinaloa, Mexico This day was the first day of our four day trip into the mangroves. Stayed at the beach of a village located here among the many islands. The "natives" were very friendly and although we could not speak with them they offered us a large squash and put it into the fire for use Dec 23 Kept moving through the mangroves and up the channel all day saw nearly all the birds on the list again. Shot and prepared a flycatcher. We shot 3 scamps, one quail and 2 doves for dinner After getting up in the morning, having oatmeal and squash for breakfast we got in the canoe and went about ± three miles more up (or down) the channel, made camp and explored there. I shot a vermillion flycatcher and an oriole. Dec 24 The last night camp was right by the channel and the number of fish in the channel must be phenomenal. The fish jumping (probably being chased by large fish) is enough to keep one awake. Bill Maker claims he saw porpoises in the stream this morning. During the daytime fish are always jumping. Whole schools of fish can be seen making a wake in the water. Camp was broken about 11:00PM

E.M. Brock 1955 Journal Between Seacapan and Puerta del Rio, Sinaloa, Mexico and moved about ½ mile downstream I set out what traps I had / steel trap 2 mouse traps and one rat trap, baiting them with peanut butter. Dec. 25 The mornings in this area are very foggy and, camped where we were under the trees, our sleeping bags were very wet from the drops of condensation dropping from the leaves. Checked my traps and had a rat in my rat trap. After breakfast went out to see what life was around and shot a white finited panot. As it was, we broke camp after breakfast and got on our way so it was not possible to get to the panot in time and it was finally prepared as a skeleton. While moving through the mangroves we spotted an iguana perched on the limbs of a mangrove. It was shot with 22 dust and retrieved. After an eventful trip through the mangroves we finally got back to Huanacastle where they gave us a short dinner and we got on our way to San Blas. We arrived in San Blas about 10:00 PM and took a room at the Belmar Hotel Dec. 26. After getting up and having breakfast at the Torina restaurant we drove about looking

E.M Brock 1955 Journal San Blas, Nayarit, Mexico at the countryside and the forms of life. In the afternoon we went back to their areas and collected specimens & shot and prepared a streaked flycatcher from this area, Dec, 27, I took a walk in the morning to look at San Blas and some of its old buildings in hopes of finding bats. Fortunately I did find bats roosting in an old building which was still occupied and being used as brick manufacturing house. I had no idea how to get the bats down until I saw a small boy with a slingshot. But, the boy, not having any rubber bands used stones to knock down our bat. This attracted other small bats and soon they had knocked down five bats all of the same kind. I prepared them in the afternoon and then in the evening we all set out 30 traps apiece in the mangrove swamp area just to see what mammals do occur there Dec 28 Checked the traps in the morning and didn't have anything in my trap except for some crabs which have their holes in this soft wet ground. Bill Hamilton caught me Peromyscus. At 3:00 we met Jose, a young man Hamilton had met the previous day and had claimed to know

E. M. Brock 1955 Journal San Blas, Nayasit, Mexico where there were some bat caves, Jose, who speaks very good English took us to this cave and we got inside and stretched a hair net over the split. Inside we shot many bats with the 22 dust shot. Most of the bats are a large red bat very close (if not the same as) to Lasianus, Some others were long nosed bat (major Macrotus) while one was a large blakish bat and many others were small reddish (with pointed ears) bat. We took these home and prepared as many as we could and were forced to pickle the rest. Dec. 29 Left San Blas today. After packing and preparing to leave, we left at about 10:30 A.M. for Magatlan. Arrived at Magatlan at about 5 P.M. after having one blow out on the way Made reservations to stay for the night at the Hotel Freemont for 93 pesos a night for the three of us. Dec 30 Get this up at 5:00 o'clock in the morning, eating breakfast and packing we got on our way. After one more blow out on the road and much delay we reached the border about 6:00 o'clock the next morning Dec 31 After leaving the border and driving all day and all the next night we reached Berkeley

E. M. Brock 1956 May 2 ±10 mi. S of Orick, Humboldt Co., Calif. Left Berkeley this morning to go with S. B. Benson To the States of Oregon and Washington. We left at 9:00 AM in Bensen's jeep station wagon and towing a two-wheel trailer. Went up highway 101 through Hopland, Laytonville, Piercy and Fortuna. Slept in the station wagon at about ±10 mi. S of Orick near Stone Lagoon. May 3 4.2 mi. S Molalla, Clackamas Co., Oregon Left Stone Lagoon and went through Crescent City, Calif. and collected one Ancylis and one Batrachoeops at 2.6 mi. NE from Crescent City, Del Norte Co. This was along highway 199. Went through Gasquet and over Hazel Summit, and to Grant Pass, Oregon. From there through Roseburg, Eugene, Albany, Salem, to Silverton to Molalla where we tried to get some Phenacomya but all nuts seemed to be squirrel nuts. Slept in car parked in a gravel pit 4.2 mi. S of Molalla. May 4 Tacoma, Pierce Co., Washington Left Molalla and went to Portland, Oregon to get collecting permits to collect in Oregon or way back from Washington. From Portland drove along Columbia River to Cascade Locks. Looked for possible pocket gopher sites, crossed bridge into Washington and drove towards Vancouver. On way went through heavy rain

E.M.Brock 1956 Journal May 4 Tacoma, Pierce Co., Washington storms. Drive up highway 99 through Woodland, Kelso, Chehalis, Centralia to Olympic and Tacoma to stay at Murray Johnsons house for the night. May 5 Set out 12 gopher traps at 2 mis. S Roy in Pierce Co. while at this locality two garter snakes were taken - one a yellow and black coloration, the other a greenish and black coloration. Still staying at Johnsons place at 105 Tacoma St., Tacoma. May 6 Went out to retrieve the traps set out yesterday and no gophers had been caught. Dr. Benson, though, did catch three - two females and one male. The location was the large meadow (or prairie) at the E. K. Murray Ranch 2 mi. S of Roy, Pierce Co. In afternoon Johnsons took Dr. Benson and 2 to the Puget Sound Museum where we looked at the specimens in the collection. It is a rather disorganized collection consisting of about 6000 specimens. Then we went over to Alex Walker's sons home. He had just complete his thesis on subspecies of Gophers. May 7.

The turnoff, dirt road is near the Sequin Bay State Park, The dirt road was followed for about five miles to the point where the Dungeness River enters the Greywolf River at an elevation of about 800 ft. Made camp and set out 60 snap traps and 10 skyler traps. May 8 Checked traps in the morning and removed four Peromyscus, one Sorex and one Microtus. When checking the traps at about three o'clock one Clathronomys was caught. 46 more snap traps were put out. While setting these traps 2 small toads and one tree frog were seen near the shore of the stream - one toad was collected. A very strong skunk odor has been present at and about our camp site - Two steel traps have been placed out to try and catch the skunk. May 9 When checking the traps this morning a toad had been caught in one of them - this toad was kept. Also caught were four more Peromyscus and one shrew. All of the animals caught were taken in the traps that had been placed out yesterday, not the traps that were left out from the day before. Walnuts are being used for bait. The skyler traps that had been set previously were baited with sandrine and oats. The traps out tonight are baited with the carcasses of other trapped animals. Weather has been fine, so far.

M3 Brock 1956 Journal May 10 Jct. Dungeness + Greywolf R., ±800 ft. (Sec 30, T29N, R3W) Clallam Co., Wash. Another toad was taken on the morning walk checking the trap line. All that was caught in the traps were two Peromyscus. The day was very cloudy some rain during the day and some last night. During the day a fish hatching truck came by and the man in the truck - superintendent of Dungeness Fish Hatchery, Ernie Branon - told us he was looking for a place along the stream where he could plant fish when the time came. Dr. Berson asked him whether he knew of any building occupied by bats. He commented that the hatching buildings had bats in the attic. We asked if there was a place nearby to camp, he said there was. Because we knew about this new locality, we left our campsite at about 11:00 o'clock after having prepared our days mammal catch. We arrived at the Dungeness Fish Hatchery at about 1:00 PM and talked to Mr. Branon who told us the bats were still in the hatchery. Since the attic was right overhead the living quarters of one of the hatchery helpers who had his children sleeping until two o'clock, we did not go into the attic until 2:00. The attic was a very warm dark room occupied by many bats. We gobbled as many as we could and stuffed them in a sack. The bats were grouped in two major bunches. There appears to be two species of Myotis. Of all the specimens taken only one was a male. Five were prepared as study skins the rest were put in the

May 11 The only things caught in last night's traps were one Zapus and one Peromyscus. The name of the helper at the hatchery who occupies the quarters in the hatchery building near the "bat attic" is Kieth Dinton (wife + 2 children). During a walk around the campsite a pair of Harlequin ducks were seen swimming in Canyon Creek which flows into the Dungeness. The same trap line was left out for tomorrow. May 12 Two Sorex, one Microtus and one Peromyscus were taken in last night's traps; these traps were left gate re-baited and left. Three mole traps were set, two steel traps, five skyler traps and 23 snow snap traps. May 13 A marsh shrew was taken in one trap which had been placed on top of a mossy log located among many alder trees and nettle plants. Also caught were two shrews, two Peromyscus and one Microtus. It took until about 2:00 to finish preparing all these specimens when we took the lots from the cold room to prepare as Specimens. All the lots appeared to be dead when they were removed from the cold room — none of them made the slightest movement. Upon removing the lots to the outside and combing and lining them up on the ground, we noticed

E. M. Brock 1956 Journal May 13 Dungeness Fish Hatchery: 500 ft, 4 mi. SSW Sequim Clallam Co., Wash. The boats slowly "coming back to life." Dr. Benson took 10 more to prepare as skins while I took the remains and weighed them; measured the forearm checked the embryos and saved the skulls only. Benson went out in the evenings to set some more traps and came back with a snowshoe rabbit he had shot. Set out three steel traps in some mountain beaver run ways in a small meadow... May 14, Picked up the trap line this morning and retrieved all specimens. Two water shrews had been caught near a weir across the Dungeness River. Also other Two other species were caught. A mountain Beaver was caught in one of the steel traps. Preparing the shrews took all morning and preparing the mountain beaver took all afternoon. Twenty traps have been set out tonight around and on the weir crossing the River. May 15 Elwha River, 3/4 mi. SW Olympic Highway (Sec 33, T30N, R7W) Clallam Co., Wash No animals were caught in the 20 traps that had been placed on the weir at the Dungeness hatchery. A crow was caught in a steel trap that had been placed out for raccoon. It had been attracted by the intestines that (from the snowshoe rabbit) which had been used as bait. At about 1:00 o'clock we broke camp and went to Port Angeles and from there to the Elwha

E.M. Brock 1956 Journal May 15 Elwah R. 3/4 mi, SW Olympic Highway Bridge (Sec 33 T30N, R7W) Clallam Co. Washington River, After crossing over the Bridge and following the road for about a mile we turned left on a dirt road to go to Mr Jordan's residence, who was supposed to have bats (Myotis keeni) in his attic according to Murray Johnsons We could not find a one. We are now camped about 2 miles from Jordans home May 16 Raft Creek Of the 42 traps placed out last night by the Elwah River, two had Peronyseus in them and one a Zapus. After leaving the Elwah we started going West slowly while looking for old buildings which might possibly have bats; many houses were investigated but no bats were found. At one house The man told us of an abandoned railroad tunnel by Lake Crescent, We drove to it, the location. Being about one mile South of the outlet of Jype Creek from Lake Crescent. The tunnel was very large and long and also very moist. No bats were present. Two salamanders were found near this locality. We continued on highway 101, the Olympic highway, to Sol Duc, Saypho, Beaver, Callwah R., Quets and into Grays Harbor County where we are now camped by the highway next to Raft Creek. Fifty snap traps have been set out.

E.M.Brock 1956 Journal May 17 6mi.SE Neeskowin, Tillamook Co., Oregon The fifty traps set out last night at Roft Creek did not yield a single specimen. Dr. Benson with the same number of traps caught one Peromyscus. Had breakfast and left camp about 7:00 A.M. drove through Neillton, Aberdeen and past Raymond, 42 miles (South) Beyond Raymond we stopped to look in an old building for bats. We found one Cynopterus in the attic. This locality was 1.3 miles north of the Megler Feny turnoff from highway 101. Then drove through Chinook, Stopped and looked at the old Fort Clatsop site. and to Megler to take the Feny to Astoria Oregon. After leaving Astoria we drove to the site of old Fort Clatsop. At 2.6 miles beyond South DOR. & Tolvana Park a garter snake was taken, and 5 mi S Cannon Beach. This was also 1.5 mi. N of Arch Cape. We have followed highway 101 along the coast through Tillamook, Buevr and Neeskowin and we now camped about 6 mi SE of Neeskowin in an experimental tree farm. No traps have been set out at the Cascade Head Tree Farm. May 18 1.3mi.E Gardiner, Douglas Co., Oregon Left the camp site in the Cascade Head Experimental Tree Farm at 6:30 and drove south along the coast to Gardiner where we made camp a little south and east of the city.

E M Brock 1956 Journal May 18 1.3 mi. E Gardiner, Douglas Co., Oregon. Found a large pile of logs on which the bark was peeling. Much of the wood underneath was rotten and damp. It was under this bark that two Anceles like salamanders were found. Also found in this habitat were three alligator lizards. One garter snake got away but had also been under the bark. Fifty snap traps were placed out along a small stream, elev. ±10 ft. May 19 Tahkenitch Camp, Tahkenitch Lake, Douglas Co., Oregon Picked up the traps at Gardiner and had one very small shrew #267, one marsh shrew, one Peromyscus and three Zapus. We decided to break camp and prepare the specimens in a more favorable environment. We packed and went north for about 7 miles where we are now camped in the Tahkenitch public Campgrounds. In my search around the marshy surrounding area I found two garter snakes and two red legged frogs. Tonight there have been 67 snap traps set out in marshy areas and next to a small stream in hopes of catching shrews. This camp is 6 miles north of Gardiner. May 20 On last night's traps, Two Sorex, two Zapus and two Peromyscus were caught. While checking the traps two red legged frogs were taken. Last night

E. M. Brock 1956 May 20 Jahkenitch Camp, Jahkenitch Lake, Douglas Co., Oregon This morning, just like yesterday morning, was very foggy and wet. All bushes were heavily covered with dew. Most of the day was spent preparing specimens caught. In the afternoon, all the traps, which had been left out, were relaided. A trip was made to our first Gardiner locality and another fifty traps were placed out. May 21 The traps near our camp at Jahkenitch were checked and picked up. Three Sorex and one Zapus were in the traps. A garter snake had also been captured in one of the traps. A trip was then made to the locality 1.3 mi. E. of Gardiner to check the fifty traps there. No animals at all were in the traps. These traps were left to be picked up later, in the day. The morning was spent preparing specimens and in the afternoon we packed, left camp, went to the Gardiner locality to check traps, where one Sorex pacificus (a large brown shrew) was caught, and then started south. Passed over the Limpina River, went through North Bend, Bandon and into Curry Co. Went through Pat Oxford and pulled off to the side of the road in a gravel pit at about 12 miles south of Pat Oxford and 6 mi. N. Ophir, Curry Co., Oregon It was already getting dark but a large pool of

E.M.Brock 1956 May21 6 mi. N Ophir, Curry Co., Oregon fresh water could be seen next to the gravel pit and tree frogs could be heard croaking. Seven Hyla were collected from this pool and also seven Danicha. The Ocean is only about 1/2 mile west of here Left this locality and started driving south again along the coast. At 1.3 mi. N of Weddellburn (which is right at the mouth of the Rogue River) a weasel was collected dead on the road. A mouse lay dead about two feet from the weasel and presumably was being carried by the muntjil when a car hit them. These were collected and later I prepared the mouse and Dr. Benson the weasel. We drove on through Gold Beach where we cat breakfast, Pistol River and over the California line, through Crescent City and past Orick. We stopped at Fresh Water Lagoon just north of Stone Lagoon to look for a campsite. We picked up two Gerrhonotus on the west side of the lagoon. We drove on to a campground on the west side of the road, 5 miles S of Orick, which took us to Stone Lagoon where we stayed for the night. Fifty snap traps were set out. May23. N side Stone Lagoon 5 miles S Orick Humboldt Co., Calif I caught nothing but Peromyscus in my traps Dr. Benson got a couple shrews and many Peromyscus Only the shrews were kept. Left Stone Lagoon and drove Arcata and Eureka on Highway 101

After leaving Ferndale we started looking for red tree mice in the Douglas Fir trees. Along the road, was a logging road sign stated "no trespassing, Marrow? Ranch" [not sure about the Marrow] we climbed a tree and caught two Phenacomys At this same locality we found a nest with Two adults and three young tree mice. Driving along the road we found another nest with one subadult at 3.2 mi., N.W. Petrolia, and still another nest with one subadult at 5.2 mi., S.E. Petrolia. Then we passed through Upper Mettale and Honeydew which are both logging camps. The road is very rough and becomes very steep beyond Honeydew. At the top of a knoll we took a fork to the west; this fork was across a large "airstrip clearing" May 24 Camped last night down in the valley at 10 mi. N.road S. Honeydew, ±1200 ft., N. Fork Bear G., Humboldt Co., Calif. Caught various lizards and amphibians around campsite. Prepared tree mice that had been collected. Left camp and drove south. Found yellow-legged frog and Gandronotus along the way; camped tonight by Gualala River about 11 mi. S.E. Gualala, Sonoma Co., Calif. May 25 found Rana, Bufa and [illegible] near camp. Left for Rose, Budey.

E. M. Brock 1955 June 15 Ingram Canyon, 5.4 m NW, Westley, Stanislaus Co., Calif. Left at noon with Jerry Cooke (and his station wagon) and Allen Ziegler for Coral Hollow (Alameda, San Joaquin Co.) and adjoining areas. Drove through Turmane and on Coral Hollow road to Tracy to Wesley, left Wesley and went into Ingram Canyon. There, set out 50 snap traps each and about 10 Sherman live traps. In the evening we watched for bats flying over and managed to shoot one down. It was a Peripatellis hispans. We had also looked in various mine shafts and caves for bats during the day. Back in Coral Hollow we found a cave and collected a single Cynomhirus from it. June 16 Collected all our traps which contained one Dijodongus, a [illegible], Peromyscus and Rhithrodontomys. Mourning doves and Valley quail are very abundant in the canyon. Dow black tail jackrabbit, ambolor cottentails, loghead shrikes, burrowing owls and many beechy ground squirrels. Drove to Wesley and to Patterson where we took the turnoff to Del Puerto and Los Mochos which leads to Livermore and Mt Hamilton. Checked all caves along the way. One bat did escape from us in one of the caves. Drove to Westvaco mines in Santa Clara Co. where we

E. M. Brock 1955 Journal June 16 Westvaco Mines Santa Clara Co. Calif. Inquired about bats and mine shafts. A Mr. McPeters? (with son Jimmy) told us he could not give us permission to enter any of the mine shafts but that some of the closed-down living quarters near by had bats and that we could look there if we wished. His son Jimmy (about 10 or 11) showed us around and showed where he had seen bats. We found bats in between the 2 x 4s and siding and kittling the boards. To get them out. After a while they started coming out and we started catching them. The majority were Antrozous pallidus (about 12) were caught while four were Eptesicus fuscus and one Tadarida mexicana all in one building. June 18 1 mi. SE Inverness, ±25 ft., Marin Co., Calif. Received from Dr. Benson a pocket gopher and a shrew which he had caught at Inverness The gopher was still alive. Both were prepared as study skins June 27 Yosemite, Yosemite Valley, Mariposa Co., Calif. The study skins of bats in the Yosemite study museum contain the following bat species.
