Coppwell 1949 Neotoma fuscipes Sep 3-4 Braunran Mtn, 3700, 3400 ft. Humboldt b. Calif. one was caught in a Schuyler trap set amid tall dense "chaparral" of manzanita - Quercus sp.- and Ceanothus unastes. The trap was set just S of the main peak where one of the high pitched voices chipmunks had scolded me on Sep 1. no wood rat nest was visible from the trapping site. another was caught in a Schuyler trap set at an entrance to a 2 1/2 ft. high nest at the 3700 ft. level. The nest was placed along one side of a somewhat over the middle of an 8" diameter barkless log. materials included in it nest were the usual twigs + slabs of Pinus jeffreyi or ponderosa bark up to 8" long and 4" wide + a few dried and green twigs (including leafage) of manza nita. The site is on the N. facing slope in open pine forest with some Douglas fir admixed (see Journal, p. 105)
