Lillelandass (continued) June 30. we went up the ridge in the direction of Jefferson. Came to an old mine shaft and in this we found the nests of two wood rats. Traps were set, one just inside the opening the other at the extreme end. Returned to camp. July 1. Checked trapline set July 30. Ward Russell again took Paul Wilson and self over course. Noted cotton markers and accounted for traps. Took only one Neosorex. Additional specimens included several each of Microtus mordax (near water) Peromyscus crinitus and Peromyscus maniculatus (in rocks) and Perognathus parvus on a flat. Also took a Neotoma up in the rocks. Gopher traps were unsprung. Two gopher traps were set in recent diggings. Traps set for Neotoma in mine shaft were cleaned of oatmeal but unsprung. Spent the afternoon in hunting up the canyon with Francis Gale and later with Frank Graham. Looked for conies but saw none. Shot a green tailed Towhee and two Eutamias. Returned to camp at 4:30 p.m.
