Put up 3 specimens in the afternoon, and toward evening I went up the canyon about a mile and a half and set out sixty traps. Set out forty along water course and twenty up a small canyon.
July 13. Traps yielded seven Peromyscus maniculatus 4 taken in streambed, 3 on bank, one Microtus mordax in stream bed and one
