Boulevard, ST 1941 May 24 Russian Gulch State Park, 40 ft., Mendocino Co., Calif. There was a - .[illegible] tide this morning around 5 AM. We got down and out on the rocks about 5:40, comparatively warm, overcast, no wind. We were able to collect various invertebrates of the middle tidal zone, but only catch glimpses of the low-tide fauna. The fauna is quite typical of unprotected coast with large beds of mussels (Mytilis californianus and Mytila polymerus), starfish, anemones, Balanus, but is much sparser than other coastal areas, as Dillon Beach. One species found lacking at Dillon Beach and present here is the flatworm of the mussel association. I found a very superior jack-knife in a low tide pool and only a little rusted, and, having lost my Scout knife a few days previously, was very pleased with the morning's collecting. There is a large flat meadow previously mentioned just above the coast where we collected. This morning we again heard the worried calls of the meadowlark and flushed two half-grown birds in our trek across the meadow. We brought in our mousetraps on our way back to breakfast (puff! puff!). Set six brushes edging creeks and meadowy spots west of camp previously described. Still baiting with walnut. Caught 4 Peromyscus maniculatus, 3 Sorex pacificus, 2 Sorex vagrans, and 1 Zapus oararius. 4 traps were
