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.
