J Crowley 1941 5 Journal May 27 Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co., Calif. 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.
