Peromyscus were almost abound ant
about old camping places. Mr. Basselby
caught 15 during one night in three
common mice traps. He set one trap
at the head of his bed, one in the
middle; and one at the foot and
then went to bed. As fast as he
heard a Trap go off he would wake
over and take the dead mouse out,
so it was a continual performance.
Meadow mice were fairly common
in certain places in the broad grassy
meadows near the mouths of the
Salmon creeks.
Birds were not particularly
abundant altho we saw more than
at Port Frederick or Idaho inlet or
Clicka gop Island. I noted the following
25 Marbled Murrelet.
Between 25 and 50 were seen during
our stay. They were flying high over
the woods during the evening.
55 Short Billed Gull.
A large flock staid around the flat
near the mouth of the big Salmon Creek
