WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years ago

Introduction: Mammals of Dongolocking Nature Reserve were surveyed between 15-25 October 1974 and 8-16 April 1975. The manner of survey is recorded in Kitchener and Chapman (1976). 'Standard' mammal traplines were used throughout. In addition pit traps (P.V.C. tubing 60 cm long and 10 cm in diameter) were placed in sandy areas; these were sunk into the ground except at trapline 6 where they were tied upright to the base of Eucalyptus falcata trees. Traplines were located as shown on Map 1 (Muir this publication). They were placed to sample the major vegetation formations.
