Hooper, 1938 2 mi. S Saratoga, 2000 ft., Santa Cruz Co., Calif. July 9, quadangle. The coniferal belt extends coastward to within 4-8 mi. of the coast on the route we traveled. It comes closer to the coastline as one progresses southward toward Santa Cruz. In Gajos Cr., for example, we came to Douglas fir (as we went up the creek) about 2 mi. from the coast. These, of course, were in the canyon bottom. About 5 mi up the creek there were good stands of Doug fir and redwoods on protected slopes as well as in the canyon bottom. Chaparral wood was cent (except in burned over areas) 7 mi from the coast. On the Sharp Park - Skyline Blvd. road there were no conifers - just grassland and chaparral. Camp on mile of July 7 on N side of Hoffman Boy was made at the edge of a perman- ent, fresh water marsh 1/2 mi. N Pillar Pt. The marsh is about 6 acres in extent; vegetation here: Typha, Carex, Juncus, Salix, Rumex, Coriuna, Mimulus (- Diplacus - ). Some of it resembles the marshes W of Inverness on P.X. Route Rd. where Zapus have been taken. I set traps as follows: 13 on hillside in yellow
