Hoffmeister 1939 Sorex olescenus June 11 Cayuse Meadow, 3800 ft, 3½ SW Steamboat Mtn, Skamania Co., Wash. In this isolated meadow, surrounded by a thick coniferous forest and with a small stream in one end, caught one specimen of this species this morning (D.F.H. 160). The trap in which this specimen was taken was in the thick damp grass near the stream under a willow thicket. The specimen was an adult(?) female and the mammary glands were considerably developed.

Caught 2 Sorex last evening (D.F.H. 301, 302) in traps that were set near the creek (see sketch map of July 29), 1 in the "1st opening" along the water's edge; the other in the most easterly trap in the area designated "traps along creek", about 2 feet from water in thick growth of low vine. They were caught on straight oatmeal bait on one trap, and oatmeal and peanut butter on the other trap.
