Chattin left the Mus. of Vert. Zool.-U of Calif. Berkeley at 9:20 A.M. June 27. U.S. highway 40 was followed NE to 10 mi. beyond Dixon where highway 99 W was followed to Red Bluff. From here highway 99 was followed to Weed; from Weed highway 97 was followed to the present site. This site 11 mi. NE of Weed is near the old railroad siding Delaney. The soil is loose gray sand about 6 in. deep with some fine gravel intermixed. The ground is dry to a depth of at least 1 ft. Slope is very gentle but rocky outcrops are present on either side. Many sawed stumps of Pinus ponderosa are present, some of which are fire-scarred. The Life-Zone is Transition as indicated by yellow pine & sagebrush (Artemisia Tridentata). Vegetation in the clearing includes Artemesia tridentata, Pinus ponderosa, Purshia tridentata (Antelope brush) Arctostaphylos(?)(manzanita) Juniperus occidentalis (western juniper) and a kind of bunch grass which

The parent bird flew up and then disappeared in the gagbrush a short distance away. The nest is a slightly hollowed depression in the fine dry sandy dust. Fragments of rotten wood from a nearby log are scattered about with which the color of the young birds blents very well. Young birds are covered with fine brownish colored down.

Voice or sound made by the toads resembles neither that made by Hyla or Rana but is a high harsh note which is fairly prolonged.

Jan.28 7:30 P.M. - Small & T.b. albatos put into bottom of box with ST.albatos. At first they appeared to fight, but apparently no damage done to either. Later I began to push F about the box (face to face) as though pushing dirt. This continued for a short time. Both would separate for a short time but soon return to pushing at each other, at times both standing up on hind legs. Several times the M rosed around the perineal region of the F and 3 times turned her over upon her back. During parts of the procedure the F made several squeaks and the M at times also "squeaked," but in a much deeper pitch. After about 1/2 hr. both were replaced in their respective cages. Jan.30.

Chattin J. 1940 Itinerary July 21 18 1/2 mi. NW Portland, 1300 ft., Washington Co., Oregon. Left Berkeley Calif. at 6:00 am July 20 with Ward C. Russell in '39 Dodge truck and drove to near Drain, Oregon where we spent the night. In a.m (July 21) we drove on into Portland, arriving around 11 a.m. Took highway U.S. 30 out of Portland to [illegible] and turned left on "Rocky Point" road 6 mi. E of Beavose. Arrived at present locality in early afternoon and set up camp about 1/2 mi. E of the Dudley ranch. During the afternoon I set out 100 mouse traps spaced 4-10 yds. apart. Trap line was set along edge of cleared land and then three center of cleared land down to creek. About 20 traps were set along the creek and then the line cut back into cleared land again. The surrounding country has in general been heavily logged off and few small stands of Douglas fir and cedar are left. Almost all of the cleared or logged land has been burned over and fairly thick brush is growing among stumps and fallen logs. Brush covering these clearings is made up of stands of young alder and wine maple. Other

NW Portland, 1300 ft., Washington Co., Oregon shrubs and bushes etc composing a fair proportion of the vegetation include: - Oregon grape. - Canadian thistle,- Black raspberry - Blackberry - Thimbleberry - Clarkia - White Everlasting - Gooseberry and Broken. Eutamias townsendii were fairly numerous throughout the entire cleared area. After setting out trap line returned to camp and after supper I shot 1 Lasionycteris flying in open clearing above creek at height of about 20 ft.. Also shot a smaller bat (possibly a Myotis but was unable to find it in thick underbrush. July 22 a.m.- During the night the 100 traps yielded 3♀ and 9♂ Peromyscus m. rubidus, 1♂ and 1♀ Mus musculus, 1 Microtus sp? and 1 Eutamias; 1♀ Sorex was brought into camp, having been caught and brought home by house cat. 1 Eutamias, 4 Peromyscus 2 Mus, 1 Lasionycteris 1 Sorex (skull only) and 1 Microtus were saved as skins. Inspection of traps at noon gave 2 more E. townsendii. - Also 1 winter wren, 1 Bewick Wren (prep. W.C.P.) and a young Spotted Towhee. 15-20 traps were sprung, some moved 2-3 ft. - probably the mouse traps are too small to hold the chipmunks. 1 Phamnophilus was caught

Chatting 1940 Catalogue 18½ mi. NW Portland 1300 ft. Washington Co. Oregon at distances of 3-10 yds. apart. Traps were set in small grassy spaces and beneath bushes and fallen logs and driftwood. Vegetation present along the trap line was made up of Bracken, tangles of black- berry, black raspberry, thimbleberry bushes. Young alders 8-18 ft. high, Carex sp? and some grasses are also present. White Everlasting, Clarkia and Canadian thistles add to the tangle of vegetation. 9 #4 jump traps were set in runs or burrow mouths of Aplodontia beneath fallen and rotten logs on NE facing slope of hill in fairly heavy stand of Douglas fir. 6 Traps were also set by W.C.R. and when I returned 2 hrs. later at 3 p.m. 1 Aplodontia was caught and 1 other trap was sprung. This contained some fur and possibly was sprung by feelly of the animal and was not held by trap. Traps are large enough since the A caught was held securely. 1 mole trap was set near camp in mole run which appeared fairly fresh (possibly not more than 3-4 days old). Between 8:05 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. shot 1 Lasionycteris and 1 Myotis. Bats were observed flying only between

The trap line was set after rain had stopped falling. Road along which it was set runs thru a large stand of virgin timber of Douglas fir 2-6 ft. in diametral base. Undercover is composed almost exclusively of vine maple with carpet of moss and Oxalis 2-4 in. high covering the ground. July 30 a.m. Trap line inspected and 4 Peromyscus and 1 Phenacomys were caught. Trapline near camp contained nothing. Both lines were left out.

To reach this locality eve crossed Canyon Creek below camp and drove up road taking right hand turn and going to ranch of V. Graves. From the ranch a trail leads down around the lower end of a large cliff with rock slide to cabin directly above the creek. Conies were heard calling so we stopped to hunt. 4 Rat traps were set in mossy trails near edge of slide. Aug 5 a.m. Returned to rock slide. 1 juvenile Neotoma was caught in rat trap. 1 Ochotona and 1 Sciurus hudsonicus were shot at this time. 10 rat traps were set - 5 in an abandoned cabin near Canyon Creek and 5 in trails in moss in rock slide. Traps were baited with dried apricots.
