J.O. Stanley 1976 15. 17 Aug. Arrived in Memphis last PM at ~3:30. Could not find the University by 5 so got a motel for the site. Finally contacted Michael L. Kennedy at Memphis State this morning. Mike is a student of Schnell's at Oklahoma but is now doing some acrilimide electrophoresis of local Peromyscus. He tells us about the realities for M. austroriparius which are several streams 20'-60' wide in dense forest. No cave colonies known. He will not be able to go with us as he leaves tomorrow for the Smokies to collect in some lines of can traps they have here. We went in Mike's university vehicle to the Tennessee River for a chalk mine where he has collected M. austro. before. Had to draw a boat also, as it can only be reached by water. Mike's 2 students (Mike and Phyllis) also came along. About 3 mi. from the landing (at Eastbay), the boat came unlatched and flipped over doing minor damage but wreaking the distributor coil. An automotive coil (12v) did the truck and we were on the river by 6:00 PM. The mine is reached in the 1st major cove upriver (S) of Eastbay landing by a path of about 1mi in length. The habitat is deciduous and this way
