Lilleland 1933. Itinerary. Cont. July 27. Big Creek, Frank Gorham made up specimens in an old shed, set back in the corral E of the ditch—He was putting up mice and left four of them on a board while he went to supper. When he returned all four had been swallowed and regurgitated—in fact were slimy wet when found. Now, to make a long story short, the rattlesnake that we took was very insistent on going in the direction of said shed, even challenging the stick to get by.—This may be too obvious to be true,—but the guess is worth venturing that we may have taken the snake that was after the mice. One might make a number of inferences on the intelligence of a Rattler, or more flattering ones on the ability of the taxidermist! This was the second rattler taken in this particular place and also the second for the trip. Arrived at Camp Burned Corral about 11 am. Spent the afternoon in putting up specimens. That evening I set out 45 traps W and South of camp as indicated in diagram which follows.
