Hoffmeister 1939 Sorex palustris July 16 1 mi. SW Satus Pass, 3200 ft., Klickitat Co., Wash. Set 60 traps last night in this Transitional Zone area along a small creek which borders a dirt road leading along the southern edge of the Indian Reservation in this region. It appears to be upper Transition, and is not a pure Douglas fir- yellow pine forest area. Caught this specimen (D.F.H. 196) along the stream which is bordered by heavy shrubbery, but no grass. I had about 25 traps set in this similar habitat, but only caught this one specimen of this genus, together with 2 Clethrionomys and several Peromyscus, most of the total of 7 of the latter being caught at a distance from the creek-bed.
