J. Crowley 1941 Journal May 31 Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino, California Both shrews - one g long vagians, 1 or Sorex pacificus! The last trap I had set in a Muro- two runnway where I saw an animal flat out on the night before (May 30). This trap was sprung and the bait was gone. Another trap was sprung also, and bait was gone. The two shrews were found beneath bushes in very during lamp places. The rain had begun again; the night so the grass was drenched and sowwe we by the time we had collected our first trap. No Wood Rat were obtained either. The remains (gorg) of one were found in anywhere of a trap; the trap was sprung, but no catch. I put up the Sorex pacificus. In the afternoon Viola Mammiler and I walked to the beach to watch birds. He saw 1 Oyster Catcher and 1 king- fishes. At 3:45 we stopped in Mendocino city, at the larger of the 2 grocery stores of that town. At 6:30, Jean Coulware, Viola Mammiler and I took 2 sleeping bags and the 49 Museum Special Mouse Traps up to the pine- barrane atop the north slope of the canyon, set the traps. Viola and Jean stayed the night beneath the pines while I returned to camp at 7:30 after setting the traps down on a old wagon road, in mud under buckhlebry
