were set along the margin of the stream
and 5 up along the trail - 20 ft. from the

5 ft. from the water. The floor of the forest
was strewn with pine needles. Trap 8 was set
along - beneath - a fallen log, near Incense
Cedar and a huge rock, 5 ft. from the water.

set above the trail - 20 ft. from the water
and beneath a Golden Oak (small), near
Sugar Pine and Incense Cedar. Trap 1 got
No. 122, a O'Orzomyces. No. 8 caught Specimen
