J. Crowley 1941 Journal May 24 Queen City State Park, Mendocino Co., Cal. At 5:15 A.M., V. Mummles, J. Prock, J. Bulwer and I went to the rocky sea- shore west of camp to collect invertebrates, at foot of cliffs. I collected 3 types of Chitons which are as yet unidentified, some pereword (chewer), a Suis sp., Strongyocentrotus, limnea, mussel, barnacle, squirts, and peculiar rice-grain like things, possibly egg-cells of some marine life. He identified 2 new bird--Oregon, Guellmot & Baird Cornwells. At 8:30 Viola and I collected our traps. Of 24 at it caught before, in riparian habitat east of camp in open grassy places mostly, we had 7 catches: 103 Zapus, 2 Peromyscus maniculatus, 103 Sorex vagrans, 3 shrew moles - 1 eaten up, 1 g., 103. I put up 1 of the Peromyscus, the o-shrew mole and the Zapus. At 5:00 PM Viola and I set 23 traps for east of camp at end of camping grounds. The area was riparian habitat, fenced redwoods, in very damp situation - in heavy bed of red- wood needles. The place was studded with insects, nettle and gloom.
