Hofen, 1938 2 mi. E Stewarts Point, Sonoma Co., Calif. June 24, Immediately adjoining the sheep[illegible] grossland coastal strip is a strip of Pimus muricata - also a few P. contorta. June 25, 3 mi. W Inverness, 300 ft., Marin Co. Calif. Are now camped at the top of the ridge draining to the southwestward into the ocean and northeastward into Tomales Bay. Mr. Acker the caretaker and warden for the PT Reyes hunting club has most cordially extended us a welcome and has provided us with a bunk house in which to seek shelter from a dammably cold wind and fog. I set out 70 mouse traps in the marshy meadow on the coastal slope draining to the ocean. Vegetation here is rank, composed of sedge, sword-fern clumps, rye grass in the most moist moist area giving away to canothus cumps on west-facing slopes and Boccheris on the road side. Along the creek are willows and occasional alder and lays. Catch: 1 Newstricrus, 1 fox, 1 Reithrodontomys, 2 Peromyscus m., 2 Microtus.
