Olema Cr., 175 ft., 2 mi. SE Olema,
Marin Co., Calif.
June 27,
of Five Brooks. Up to the summit
of the ridge the vegetation cover
is as described before - large Douglas fir
predominating. At the summit there
is an abrupt break to mixed
grassland - on some more wind-
blown slopes and or meadowlands-
and chaparral. The latter foredom-
inated by far above the former at
least to within 1 1/2 or 2 miles from
the coast. Perhaps it continued on
too the coast. The thickets were
composed of Baccharis, poison oak,
blackberry, wild rose, thimble berry,
salmonberry, poison hemlock, sword
fern; an occasional live oaks or Bishop
pine dotted the area. Several lakes
with no outlet, and several marshy
areas were noted.
I set 4 mouse traps in the
chaparral which netted this morning;
1 chipmunk, 2 microtus and 1 Peromyscus
maniculatus. 30 traps set in a
marsh, with a sedge as the dominant
plant, netted 8 Microtus 2 Peromyscus
m. and 1 song sparrow. 4 Aplodontia
sets yielded nothing but 1 spring trap.
