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
