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.

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.

two Peromyscus were caught. While checking the
traps two red legged frogs were taken. Last night
