May 18 Journal Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co., California. Our party had breakfast at 6:00 am after which Viola and I picked up our traps, in museum spirits, [illegible], finding 8 individuals: 1 sheet / 3 juveniles, and 6 Perreyous moniculus. We set 25 traps on May 17 a.m.: 8 hits, 4 traps sprung with no catch and 13 with no luck at all. The Zapas was a new species for our party. Frances and Jean picked up their traps where they had put them - about the hill above (north) of camp. We secured our morning till 12:00, then continued in the afternoon. Mrs. Gurnell, Frances and Viola walked up the hill to the north while Jean and I continued our work. Mr Englishard, the ranger contributed a large (475mm) garter snake to our collection. I chloroformed this with Triton also one I had picked up the day before, then slit both of the ventral side and placed them in the jar of formalin, with Tag. After the rest of our party returned, Viola and I took our trapping farther east from camp than we had on May 17. After dinner we read up on mammals and keyed down plants, or wrote journals.
