Hall, Chattin, and I tried to shoot bats which were fairly abundant, but only Chattin was successful in getting 2 Myotis votic, which I later saw flying low among the conifers. This camp site is a relatively small open in a nearly unbroken coniferous stand of Pseudotsuga taxifolia, Pinus monticola, Abies amabilis, Larix sp., Picea. July 28 Left out most of my previous days traps and set a few more in two small openings farther down the creek, walking a total of 73 museum Special traps. Caught a total of 7 mammals, 3 Peromyscus maniculatus (2♀, 1♂), 2 Sorex (1♂, 1♀), 1 Zapus (?), 1 Clethrionomys ♀. The Clethrionomys and 1 Peromyscus were caught along the trail (only 2 traps incidentally were set along this trail & they both caught specimens), 1 Sorex and 1 Peromyscus along the creek, 1 Zapus and 1 Sorex along the stream in a small grassy opening 500 yards down the stream from the cabin, and 1 Peromyscus in the 2nd grassy opening about 1 mile down the creek from camp, but not as near the creek:
