road showed no signs of ending, just
became more impassable. After dinner
we set out 23 Museum Special mouse
traps west of camp, 12 pairs apart
mostly on the
north side of the road about 300 yds
in yellowes
from the creek. We set a few wire-
Desman habitat along the margin of meadow.
May 28 Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co., Calif.
of 23 mouse traps set on preceding
night 8 had catches: 1 set on the north side
of the road had a [illegible] Spring, 2 set there had
manculatus (0-)
Peromyscus californicus. Another [illegible]
vagrans was found with other ½ of our
23 traps - the one set along the creek;
4 of the other traps set in Desman
habitat had D. manculation. Before
preparing our catch, V. Memmler and
I went down to the 7:00 mouse hole to
collect invertibrates. He got several
species of Aemna, [illegible], other snails,
Fairy Chiton, Leather Chiton, lined Chiton.
He prepared specimens till 4:35 at which
time Viola Memmler and I looked east
through the canyon to the circle and took
the South Trail along the quiet can-
yon wall back toward the ocean.
