Terrestrial Drift Fences with Pitfall Traps 15 



Laboratory and helped install, maintain, and check drift fences and pit- 

 fall traps. Special debts of gratitude go to L. B. Wright, D. H. Bennett, 

 D. H. Nelson, J. W. Coker, T. M. Murphy, K. L. Brown, L. A. Briese, 

 S. H. Bennett, J. L. Greene, K. K. Patterson, G. B. Moran, C. A. Shoe- 

 maker, J. P. Caldwell, and many others. Data for comparing the drift 

 fence technique with that of conventional hand-collecting methods was 

 made possible through field notes contributed by R. D. Aldridge, J. R. 

 Harrison III, D. W. Herman, D. W. Tinkle, and L. J. Vitt, as well as 

 our own. We thank S. H. Bennett, K. L. Brown, A. C. Lamb III, and 

 C. R. Shoop for constructive comments on the manuscript. 



Research was conducted under contract EY-76-C-09-0819 between 

 the U. S. Department of Energy and the University of Georgia, and 

 under NSF Grant NO. DEB 7904758.
