Hooper 1937 11 mile N E Weed, Suburban Co., Cal., which had been both heavily logged and burnt as evidenced by numerous stumps, and a few western Juniper. The life zone would be put as definitely transition. The terrain was generally flat with a low, hillless 200 yds to either side. The soil was dark and sandy but not rocky. The country was barren as compared with the beautiful forest of yellow pine, White fir, I mean Cedar, Douglas fir and Black Oaks which were found along the highway south of Weed, and on the slopes of Mount Shasta - Before lunch I set out 21 mouse traps to the north of our camp site. The traps were set about 15 feet apart generally under clumps.
