Cogswell 1949 Journal 91 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Aug. 26 (cont.) 5. Burned over forest - now regrow to either: (a) - tanbark oak - Chinquapin brushland (described on p. 75) - with many tall dead trees. or (b) - Chinquapin brush, with little else a few dead trees. I not visited by me, except enroute to next camp; it is prevalent at the large "Winggrass Prairie" toward the W.E end of French Camp Ridge occasional patches of Chinquapin & Madrone which are frequent in otherwise solid Douglas fir forest may represent a later stage in the succession. Occurrences of vertebrates, as noted by me, in these habitats is tabulated in the table on pp. 86-88. Some wide-ranging species, seen only in flight over some of the habitats and entered therein by a capital F, but this does not imply dependence upon that habitat. Those which foraged primarily in a certain habitat are entered under it with an X. 3 mi. N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Aug. 26 We left French Camp about noon & drove along the road to N.E. end of French Camp Ridge, down which the road descends in a series of switchbacks to Martin's Ferry (now a suspension bridge) on the Klamath River. Altho this is outside the transect being studied on this expedition, the vegetational
