Boulder, Ft 1941 8 May 21 Russian Gulch State Park, 500 ft., Mendocino Co., Calif. photograph a section of pygmy forest and Viola and I huddled 200 or 300 yards over to the west where traps had been set for Aplodontia. Found a male Eutamias townsendii in rat trap set in burrow beneath burned old stump. This only the beginning of our day's order, so buried the clippings in a cool spot to pick up later in the afternoon. The day turned very warm, cloudless, and practically no breeze. We followed a road which runs along a fence bounding the park, first about 1/4 mile northwest and then gradually turning about and running several miles southward. This road is little more than cartracks and passes thru the pine barrens or rhododendrons forest. Rhododendron in very beautiful bloom the dominant vegetation among Pinus contorta var. lolanderi, Pinus muricata, Cupressus pygmaea, Gaultheria, Vaccinium, Arctostaphylos, Ceanothus. Mrs. Grinnell and Viola collected numerous small plants in vacuum. Viola found most of skull of a sheep. Cat was collected, some thought quite certainly rabbit. After lunch in the pines barrens, Viola and I went for a side hike and found trail leading southwest down into the redwoods again following a little gulch. We followed it down leisurely for about an hour
