P.A. Kelly 1984 Journal July 28 1954 PST Getting quite dark as I set the last (cont.) pairs of traps. Altogether set 102 traps @ 51 houses. Sat. July 29 Checked traps from 0500-0823 PST. Caught 45 rats at 43 houses: 21 ♂♂> 4 24 ♀♀. Captured 9 new individuals (double- tagged 2016-2024): 3 ♂♂> and 6 ♀♀. 3/24 ♀♀ (12.5%) were perforate and one of these (♀1465) only slightly zo. Got hold of Soozie and we resumed our effort to map as many of the "missing" houses as possible. We first finished off the lower section of the study site: houses 117, 118, 119A, 120, 123, 127A, 129, 112, 201, 201A, 202, 204, 205, 207, 209, 209A, 210. I did not bother to map defunct houses because of time constraints. In the afternoon and early evening we located and mapped 2 houses at the 1st crossing (127 + 138), one house high up on Haystack Hill over Horsetail Field, and a series of houses upfield (100A, 100B, 100C, 100D, 100E, 132, 131, 101A, 101B, 103A, 106A, 106B). Soozie also pointed out a new house she found in May immediately south of H.106 but they caught nothing there. Exhausted we decided to hach it in and retire to the Hastings Cabin for dinner. Helped David Robble to take a series of long exposure shots (slides) of Peromyscus calif with figment howler deposits. 11800PST
