Cethrionomys californicus
Aug. 27
3 mi. N Yellow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
One was caught in a trap set on ground cleared
of the 2 inch deep leaf litter (dry) on a steep slope
with Sword Fern, Calif. Huckleberry, Red Alder,
& Beg. Leaf Maple overhead. The area is one
of maple- alder forest which fills the bottom of
Coon Creek Canyon, but the site of the capture
was about 120 yards up from the stream. There
are occasional "mossy" patches on the steepest
parts of the slope where the leaf litter does not
remain.
Aug 28 another caught in trap set under overhang
of moss covered rocks on this same side.
