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
