Spiders, harvestmen, and snails were well represented in both samples.
In the bridge sample, salticids (especially _Phidippus audax_), grouse
locusts, and the snail _Gastrocopta_ were more numerous. In the rock
pile sample lycosids, and especially ceuthophilid crickets were more
abundant. The ceuthophilids were notably numerous among the rocks, and
many of them were caught in the wire funnel traps placed there for
skinks.
