Willeland 1933
Itinerary -
34
at July 26 We arrived in Tonopah at 12.0.
Called for mail, packed specimens,
ordered groceries - meat, made enquiry
at hospital for Francis Gale and
after completing other purchases were
ready to leave at 6.15 p.m.
Drove to a spot 2 1/2 mi Ex N
of Twin Spring (Johnnie Wilsons home) where
we camped for the night. We had noticed
some sand dunes out in the arroyo
while travelling west earlier in the day
and had selected the spot for trapping.
However as it was 8pm or later when
we arrived near the site we could
not distinguish accurately the locality
of said dunes. The site which we
finally decided upon was covered
with a black rock - soil dark and
hard. Vegetation straggly - Atriplex
and Chrysothamnus alternat. Out of
60 traps set I took 1:
July 27 5 Dipodomys m. levipes, 2 Perognathus
formosus & Perognathus nevadensis.
Ants had eaten on two of specimens,
one nevadensis: discarded because of
bad condition.
