Gullion 1949 journal 170 Sept 1 3 mis N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. a young Ground Squirrel in the cut-over Pure Douglas Fir forest just N of Johnson Prairie. This Pure Douglas Fir Forest is essentially the same as previously described (Journal p. 143 ) but with the addition of a few Ponderosa Pines scattered around. Went from Johnson Prairie, N to a little East fork pond at the head of Three Creeks. Found it filled with very little water-- most of basin filled with Carex, a grass and juncus. Lots of Byella in Carex. Surrounding forest is composed of Port Orford Cedar Chamae- laurocerasiana, Douglas Fir (cedar Ced.), Chinquapin, Tan Oak (some), Madrone with understory of Salal, Bracken Fern and Prince's Pine Chimaphila umbellata and Dwarf Oregon (Berberis nervosa). The Pine-Cedar Open Forest is composed of Sugar, Jeffrey and Knobcone Pines Pinus lambertiana, jeffreyi and tuberculata with some Douglas Fir & Incense Cedar. 3 Manzanitas Arctostaphylos manzanita, canescens and nevadensis, Huckleberry Oak and Golden-cup Oaks (Quercus vaccinifolium + chrysolepis), Tan Oak (litho- carpus [and densiflores]) and Ceanothus cuneatus for the rather low 1 to 4 foot high understory. There were many Chipmunks with high squeaky voices, also (Esonomus)
