Russell and Paul T. Wilson. We travelled in two trucks and a Roadster, via Carquinez Bridge, Davis, Sacramento, Roseville, Auburn, Truckee and Reno Nev; made overnight camp along main highway, 8 miles E of Reno. Left camp along main highway at 5²⁰ am. and drove by Fallon, E Gate Austin, Milletts and Round Mountain to a point in Jefferson Canyon 1 mi. E Jefferson (abandoned) 7600 ft. Elevation, in the Toquima Range, Nye Co., Nev., where we pitched camp at 6³⁰ p.m. Assisted in pitching tent and helped with other details in making camp. Hall, Gorham and DURRANT June 30. X-Mt.

Lilleland 1933 June 30 Itinerary. Went with Ward Russell and Paul Wilson into canyon NE of Campsite to take instruction in setting out traps. Ward Russell was the instructor. Method followed briefly:- Setting for Neosorex with mouse traps baited with masticated oatmeal, traps set in narrow places below waterfalls and on small beaches. About thirty traps were set for Neosorex, the creek bed being ideal for the purpose. Brush rather open, slope quite uniform and not too steep. Intervals between traps about 40 feet. Noted that several trees were baited as we walked up canyon- these being mostly pinyons. About a half mile up the canyon we came to an outcropping rising steeply from the stream bed, to our left as we walked up canyon. This marked point of divergence from water course as Ward Russell set traps on right (east) side of canyon wall. Traps were set under rocks for Neotoma and in more level spots for Peromyscus and Perognathus. The upper part of the creek bed was spotted with small meadows, in which grew flags (Iris) Delphinium, Penstemon and occasionally Mimulus and usually in these small meadows we found gopher mounds. All told we set out four gopher traps. After following the water course for 1 1/4 miles

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.

July 2. Itinerary Left camp about 6 am. with Ward Russell and Jack Arnold to get a deer which Ward had left on slope of Mt Toquima on previous day. We worked up the t[illegible] right fORK in a direction which would to me be west and south of camp. We climbed a rock slide to see if we could find conies. but no luck. We continued up canyon until we sighted Ward's white shirt which marked the deer. We divided up. See map. Canyon Floor To Camp 1- Route of Ward Russel 2 = " Ole Lilleland 3 = .. Jack Arnold Got 2 audubon warblers - one on valley floor the other on top of Toquima - 1 Chickadee ' I juncRo and one Rock wren. Took a shot at a grouse but missed it. Ward also shot at one on the way down - but did not connect. We skinned the deer, cut her up - and divided the load. The catch of the day was Russells wood chuck. 02 Russell got wood chuch Mt Toquima Deer.

Lilleland 1933. Itinerary. 13 July 3. Spent the morning in putting up a Nocifraga columbiana collected by Wl. Russell, a Turdus migratorio (Robin) shot in camp by Russell and the 3 birds secured July 2. up on the side of Mt. Togaima. These were Junco annectens ?, Dendroica auduboni and Parus gambeli. Worth noting perhaps that one Dendroica was taken at 8000 ft., and the other at 9,500 considerably above the point where W. Russell shot his deer. July 4. Slept a bit later celebrating the holiday. Put up two Eutamias m. pictus in the morning. In the afternoon I walked up along Grassy Creek Road. Saw several humming birds: Two in hot pursuit, diving from tree tops with bullet like speeds. Saw a hawk up on top of a pinion high upon a cliff. Its note was a two toned plaintive cry - could not make out colors well but when it flew, lower sides of wings were whitish.

Lilleland 1933. Itinerary. July 5. On this date I left camp 1 mi E of Jefferson about 6³⁰ am. heading in a direction approximately Ex S. directly over the hill beyond camp. Crossed a canyon. Over the next ridge about 1¼ mi from camp - I shot a <u>Eutamias dorsalis</u> ♀ and a young <u>Callospeemophilus</u> ♂ and about 300 feet further a Eutamias m pictus .♀. Estimated elevation 7800 ft.

We arrived at Tonopah via San Antonio at 11³⁰ a.m. Got our mail and had lunch at Tonopah Club. Purchased various

Lilleland 1933 Itinerary, 15 July 6. necessities and left Tonopah at 2°° p.m. We drove to a spot in the Monitor Valley 10½ mi E of Toquima Peak - Elevation 7000 ft. We camped on invaded a large stone house - whose wall inscriptions outdid those of Belshazzars' famous banquet hallucinations. This house was about 6 mi from the town of Belmont. About 5³⁰ p.m. Doctor Hall, Jack R Arnold, Francis Gale and self drove to a point E of the stone house 1½ mi on a road running E and W- From that point we headed in a more southerly direction across the sage about a mile. Here we found several sand dunes. Jack and Francis stayed in the vicinity of the dunes to set out traps. Doc and I drove back to the road to a point where the Compass read 76° W of N. to Mt Jefferson (peak), in other words Jefferson was approximately WxN of our position and we were about 10½ mi to the east of the peak. Diagram of trap set follows: 2 Peaks (twins?) Dune Table Mt. (West sight) To Cow boys Home (Stone house) X Care

Lilleland 1933 Itinerary. 16 July 7. The catch was entirely made up of Microdipodops. Nine were males, seven females. Microdipodops mega cephalus as the species name indicates has an unusually large head, most pronounced being the auditory bullae. Another interesting characteristic is the tail enlarged for support in the center. Late in the afternoon I went with Steve Durrant and Paul T. Wilson into the foothill Region back of the Stone-house. We drove to a point about a mile back of the house. A small creek runs down into the Monitor Valley from this point running just 50 feet from the house in the valley. I set out most of my fifty eight traps around the hillside to the N of the stream. In order to test differences due to presence of succulent grasses I set about 10 traps along the stream. July 8. Results of previous days trapset were:- 16 Peromyscus maniculatus, 2 Peromyscus crinitus, 2 Perognathus parvus, 1 Microtus mordax (by stream), and I shot 1 Sylvilagus idahoensis. The Peromyscus crinitus were taken at the end of a small V shaped wash. Left Stone house at 2:50 pm. Drove to Belmont. Started for Tybo - but confusion in maps and signs resulted in Reconsideration and we ended up at Tonopah at 5:30 We had dinner at Tonopah Club and departed from

Lilkland 1933 Itinerary. 17 Tonopah about 6:45 We headed for some sand dunes NE of Tonopah. Drive about 16 miles NE of Tonopah - a short distance off the road and camped. Set out 30 traps using flashlight. Line paralleled highway to E. July 9 Took 5 Microdipodops megacephalus and 2 Perognathus nevadensis. Checked speedometer to find that our campsite was 4 mi from the pumping station (NE) Left Ralston Valley site about 1:30 am. - Arrived at Clarke's Station at 8:30 am. Counseled with Keeper regarding roads - and headed N toward Hot Creek mts. Paul Wilson ill on trip - Overnight camp selected E of Tybo in Hot Creek mts. Set out trapping S of creek. July 10 Trapline started above sheepherders cabin about a mile above campsite. From this point line went S of creek directly to the top of the divide in an ExS direction. Traps yielded one crinitus and one Eutamias quadrivitattus. I shot two Eutamias dorsalis near the cabin and a Eutamias quadrivitattus at the top of the divide Also shot a towhee near cabin. Turned towhee over to Jack Arnold. July 11 Altogether I had out 25 Rat traps and 30 mouse traps. Obviously, Rodents were not

Lilleland 1933. Itinerary, 18 July 11- very plentiful in this canyon. E.R. Hall, J.D. Durrant and F.W. Gorham all of whom trapped in the valley W of our camp (about 3 mi) took: 173 specimens out of about 300 traps set. These were mostly Microdipodops megaceph- alus, Perognathus nevadensis and Peromyscus manicu- latus. On this same date I trapped one Neotoma lepida - female with young, as indicated by enlarged mammaries, also two Peromyscus maniculatus. The Neotoma lepida had a bot fly larva hanging partly out of the skin ventrally in the neck region. This I preserved. Shot a Eutamias cerialis as early as 5 30 a.m. before sun had reached the N. side of canyon wall. Left Camp Hot Creek (Camp 3) at 2 10 pm. We first drove to the Willow Creek Road; then realizing that barometer had not been checked we returned to camp. Trucks went on. Found altimeter 200 ft. off due to change in pressure. Travelled by way of Fish Lake (conspicuous alkali deposits) to Greenmonster Canyon. About 4 15 we came to the Ranch home of an Indian in canyon. This was the most attractive spot we had come to or seen.

Lill&land 1933 Itinerary. 19 July 11. The Indian told us that we could drive about ½ mi further up the canyon. We arrived at camp site 4, Monitor Range, Greenmonster Canyon, at 4:30 p.m. and started immediately to clear the ground of sage brush for the erection of the tents. Set out traps-35. Neglected to mention that about three miles above Fish Lake E.R. Hall shot one sage hen. July 12 Went over the trap line over the hill to the north of Greenmonster Canyon Camp. I had expected to catch a number of chipmunks and perhaps some Neotoma in the rocky outcroppings. Instead I caught five Peromyscus maniculatus three adult males and two females. These were taken along the top of the hillside in rather loose gravelly sand and rock. Traps were set in rather close to junipers and pinions. 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

Lilleland 1933 Itinerary 20 (Cont'd) July 13. Eutamias m pictus caught half in water and half out. The canyon traps caught nothing. All traps were rebaited and reset. On the way down from the trapset I shot a Tolmiei warbler in a willow in the cow pasture (large flat) and about 200 feet above camp a blue jay Aphelocoma woodhouseii. In the afternoon, put up one Eutamias m. pictus, one Peromyscus maniculatus and one Microtus mordax; also two birds. July 4. Left camp with Jack Arnold at 7.15 a.m. with lunch, canteen and hunting outfit. Wandered leisurely up the canyon hunting birds. Came to an aspen grove. Saw a large nest about 15 feet above ground in an aspen crotch. Climbed up to see but found nest abandoned and covered up. At 11.15 I shot a chipmunk in a mahogany grove (Eutamias quadrimittatus) Had lunch at 11.30 Started to Rain at 12.00 Jack Arnold continued in aspen grove, I climbed saddle to right and came over the divide. Looked down on a canyon NandE of Greenmonster; saw a large aspen grove down in valley. At 12.40 heading toward water coursing down mountainside I ran onto three Sage hen resting in a patch

July 13 In the afternoon, but up one formation one [illegible]s, one [illegible]s and m. picts. in the morning. To make a picture of the canyon walls, and then to see if we could find anything else. The canyon looks captured nothing to the left side of the trail. On the right side I shot a way down from the top of the wall and came back up again. All in all it was a good day's work. We went to camp at 4 o'clock and had lunch there. Then we drove out to the canyon and found a large nest about 12 feet above the ground in an aspen scotch. Climbed up to see but found nest abandoned and covered up. At 11:30 I shot a quailmark in a meadow grass (Emberiza grisea-viridis). Started to row at 12. Had lunch at 12:30 and continued in aspen grove, I climbed scale to right and came over the ridge. Looked down on a canyon floor of green mountains; saw a lake above them down in valley. At 12:40 headed toward water carrying down mountain side. I saw three sage hen resting in a patch and shot one of them. [illegible] Pedioecetes phasianellus Columbianus.

Saw @ Gallospermophilus near a pinion. Walked over to basin on top of the mountain - Saw the most beautiful sight of entire trip to date. A succession of small meadows, a small stream flowing through middle and a rocky rim running roughly NW and SE supporting the last vestige of winter, a bank of snow. Saw a large sage hen feeding alone below snow. Climbed west rim of basin and could distinguish Mt. Jefferson, Mt Togima, Table Mountain and what I thought was Camp #2, the house in the valley above Belmont. Shot a Junco and an audubon warbler right in the basin. The warbler was in a quaking aspen and the junco was down under a large rock taking a drink. The time was then 3:30. Came upon a deer in an aspen grove on E slope. Stopped to take some pictures. Intermittent showers fell from time to time. Started down at 4 pm. Wandered down into canyon where I had shot sage hen. In aforementioned dense aspen grove I lay down

The buck was very much more cautious than the doe. Made my way back over hill to Greenmonster Canyon. Saw two magpies, made camp at 6:30 pm. July 15 went with Ward Russell and Jack Arnold to hunt piqua. Russell took two, Jack one, self none. Spent part of morning making up birds and a Calospermophilus. In the afternoon I made up the Sage hen. July 16 Worked on notes. At 8:30 went bird hunting. Took 2 bluebirds, one Clark nutcracker and a warbling vireo The bluebirds were a ♂ and ♀ Sialia mexicana occidentalis. Both were taken at the same spot on a hill about ¼ of a mile above Wagon John's place. Took the Clark Nutcracker at the same spot. Took the Warbling Vireo near the Road in a willow clump about 400 feet E of Wagon Johns. Came to a Rock on the top of the hill with an arch through it. Crawled through the arch and found two Neotoma nests. Both were slightly covered with juniper cuttings.

Lilleland 1933. Itinerary, July 17 Left Greenmonster Canyon Camp with W.B. Davis at 9.15 a.m. Went by Fish Lake and Hot Creek Canyon through Page Bros. Ranch. Stopped at a dwelling to get advice on roads. This was at 11 a.m. We were told to take Road to N and turn left toward a very rugged mountain and 'Six mile Canyon.' Just as we turned into this canyon we saw an Ammospermophilus, white streaked tail over his back, running up the mountain side. Arrived at end of road about 11.50. Consensus of opinion favored turning down canyon and selecting a better camp site. Dr. Hall stayed with Francis Gale who was resting under tree suffering from fever. The two trucks turned down the canyon. W. Russell elected to camp in 3 brick kilns. Time 12.15 Arrangement of Camp, Kitchen Laboratory Hospital!

Lilleland (1933) (out) July 17 25 Itinerary, Five o'clock went with E.R. Hall and John R. Arnold to set traps in valley below Six Mile Canyon. - Drove to a spot 6 1/2 mi N of Hot Creek and set out about 30-35 traps each. Land sloped gently to E - vegetation sparse and low growing. Little indication of animal life. Drove two and a half miles toward Hot Creek and set more traps. I set only twenty two as darkness overcame us. July 18 In the group of traps set 6 1/2 mi from Hot Creek I found one Dipodomys and nine Perognathus nevadensis. Rain had fallen during the night - Many of the traps were sprung by Rain. One trap had been dragged 10 feet and the prey had escaped. At the set four miles from Hot Creek I found four Perognathus nevadensis. After collecting the specimens in respective trap sets E.R. Hall, John R. Arnold and self drove Nx E Hot Cr, about 10 mi. We looked over a streambed to the right of the road. Found it dry and ruled it out for prospective trapping. We started S toward Hot Creek. Decided to hunt horned toads and lizards. E.R. Hall drove Jack Arnold and self alternated between position on right run- ing board and rumble.

One trap had been dropped to feet and the grid had escaped. At the set for miles from that Creek I found four Prospective mosquitoes. After collecting the specimens in respective traps, ER, Hall, John B Arnold and self drove N.E. from about 10 mi. The looked over a streambed to the right of the road. Found it dry and noted it for further prospective trapping. We started 3 toward Hot Creek. Decided to hunt forward roads and tracks. ER Hall chose Jack Arnold and self alternated between position as right rear and board and boards. One on outside miles spot tracks and go after them. Plan Five o'clock went with ER, Hall and John R Arnold to set traps in valley below Six Mile canyon. Drive to a spot for mi N of Hot Creek and set out about 30-35 traps each. I had stepped directly to it - vegetation sparse and low growing. Quite a section of original life. Drove two and a half miles toward the Creek and set more traps. I got only twenty-two as Dartmoor's overnight car ```

We collected in less than an hour 24 specimens of Phrynosoma platyrhinus and 2 leopard lizards. After this we drove to the Allen Ranch in Hot Creek where we inquired about getting a hose connection for Dr Hall's car. We were directed to the Indian Camp a short walks up the hill where Dr Hall outguessed the Shoshone and came away with the cooling system of the Ford repaired. Spent the afternoon putting up specimens, At 4:30 went with S.D Durrant and Jack Arnold to Hot Creek where we set traps in the meadow along the creek flowing into the Allen Ranch. Saw no signs of Microtus mordax which we were eager to take, but did find several gopher mounds. Lacked the mattock to dig with so we merely set mouse traps along creek. Jack Arnold and self set a few on opposite side of Road i.e. 5 of Road coming from Fish Lake Valley - We then drove 4/5 mi S of Hot Creek and set out traps on both sides of the Road going to Tonopah. Started raining at 5:15:50

Lilleland 1933, Itinerary. 27 July 18 We had to abandon further trapsetting. I only got out twelve at this point. Strong wind blowing from NW. July 19. Up at 5. Breakfast and by 5:30 off to see what our traps had caught. Went to site on Tonopah road first. Out of twelve traps I caught only one Dipodomys ordii columbianus F. J. Arnold took none, S.D. Durrant 3 specimens. Drove to site 1/4 mi W Hot Creek and there took 3 Dipodomys m levipes, 2♂and 1♀; also one Perognathus nevadensis. No Microtus were found. Stayed long enough to set 5 Gopher traps and returned to Camp Three Milns about 8:30 Set out more traps with SD Durrant and JArnold.

Bush that is most widely distributed has terminal spicules much like some cacti - tho bush itself in shape is like saye brush. Understand that bush is an Atriplex (?) Soil varied consider- ably. Some places it would be very sandy and fine - other places gravelly and in still others clayey and alkaline. Caught 8 Perognathus nevadensis, 6 Microdipo- dops, 4 Dipodomys m. levipes and 1 Onychomys leucogaster brevicaudus. Total number of traps set was 64. Caught the Microdipodops in the sandier lighter soil. The Dipodomys were scattered as were also the Perognathus nevadensis. The single Onychomys was caught 25 ft from the road in a clayey flat. When setting the traps I had run out of cotton, and wishing to set the full complement and yet not jeopardize my chance of finding the trap, I had set it out away from bushes. Caught a leopard lizard Crotophytes in, which was watching a live P. nevadensis. Also came upon a Dipodomys m. levipes sitting by a trap, rolled like a ball. Grabbed it and found that it had been caught

Lilleland 1933. Itinerary in that trap - by the skull - but had pulled out. Set traps with Frank Graham, down below "Camp Three Pils" along both sides of creek. Put out seventy-five traps. July 21. Traps set evening before caught Peromyscus maniculatus, Peromyscus crinitus and one Neotoma lepida. Traps set in creek bed for Neosorex trapped almost entirely P. meniculatus. Neotoma lepida was taken up in the rocks above (ie No?) the road. Tail of Neotoma lepida taken was quite bushy and for a time we thought we had taken another species. Along the south side of the creek on low rocky flats where one would suspect Eutamias dorsalis nothing was taken. Ward Russell shot two higher up the creek. Spent the morning putting up specimens. About three in the afternoon, we left "Camp Three Pils" for parts unknown. Drove to Warm Springs where we inquired about prospecting Camp sites to the east. We found out that there was water at Old Mill in Reveille Valley. Arrived at Old Mill about 6:15 pm. Set out 165 traps at the point where the intersection of "Warm Springs - Old Mill Road" and Eden to Old Mill Road. Saw a Phalarope feeding in a shallow pool near the Old Mill. Ward Russell shot it. I was standing no more than

Killeland 1935 July 21 - thirty feet from him while he was feeding. The bird seemed to have no fear. Even after Ward shot and missed the bird settled down in the water and went right on feeding. July 22. Started out at 4:30 am to collect our traps. Part of area trapped near Road had sandy soil and here I found several Microdipodops. Further south I came to a spot where the Artemisia was dwarfed - and sparse and where cow tracks were numerous. Here I took two Dipodomys m. leuipes. Came to one marker, and found trap gone. Finally found it seven feet from marker - containing a Peromyscus maniculatus young with half the skull chewed off. Total catch included 6 Microdipodops (5♀ and 1♂), 3 Dipodomys m. leuipes, 1 Onychomys ♀, 1 Perognathus nevadensis, 2 Peromyscus maniculatus, Perognathus famosus, ½ young Perognathus parvus. Left Camp Old Mill at 8:05 am after weighing and gutting specimens - set out for New Kueitle. Couldn't find New Kueille so we set out for Nyala. Were advised to go to Big Creek.

Lilleland 1933. Itinerary July 22 (cont) Did not set out any traps as I had enough left over from Old Mill to keep me busy. Made up specimens in afternoon July 23. Continued making up specimens from Old Mill. Afternoon about 5 went with JR Arnold up into Big Creek Canyon east of our Campsite. Drove about % of a mile up Canyon Road, Jack took E side of canyon and I set traps on S and W side. Followed stream bed, for biggest part of way. Diagram - July 24 Went up canyon to check trapline. Took 4 Peromyscus crinitus, 3 Perognathus formosus and 1 Dipodomys ordii colum- bionus, the latter caught in a flat quite close to the stream. Made up specimens until about 3:20 pm when E.R Hall, J.R. Arnold and self drove to a point 9 1/2 mi. E. New Reville in Railroad Valley. Discovered after arrival that sack of traps had been left at camp. I had 35 in my 31

July 25 Caught 2 Perognathus nevadensis, 1 Dipodomys m. leucipes, 1 Onychomys, 1 Peromyscus maniculatus, and 4 Microdipodops. These were caught on a sand dune on the edge of the large alkali lake by which we camped. This lake is about 3 mi across. Color as white as diatomaceous earth. We caught a live Microdipodops also, Vegetation mostly Atriplex, rather low growing; some Chrysos thanmus also. Arrived at Big Creek about 9:20 in time to see trucks leaving for Burnted Corral Canyon. Just before sighting trucks we saw two antelope loping down toward west in the sage brush. The white tails were very apparent. As for distinguishing other characteristics - distance was prohibitis. We also saw a Raven about the same time, We drove via Njala to Burnted Corral Canyon where we established camp. Canyon itself is well covered with junipers, pinion, Rhus trilobata and willows.

Lilleland 1933. Itinerary - 33 Cont. July 25 Was advised that I was to go with Ward Russell to Teecanoph on following day so I set no traps. July 26. Left Camp at 7:35 with W. Russell. Reo loaded with specimens - empty gas containers etc. Stopped at Garretts at Nyala where we took on two Standard Oil drums for refilling. When we came to the pass which connects Railroad Valley and the lower end of Hot Creek Valley we saw a nesting falcon, up on a high cliff. Bird flew off nest when we stopped and though we waited, did not return. Estimate nest at 75 feet above floor of pass and about 15 feet from the top. It would not have been at all impossible with care to have reached nest from the top. For the first time since I left Southern Calif (Pasadena) I was sure of seeing mocking birds. Did see one in a cage at Warm Springs but these were wild. Here Atriplex grows to a height of 3- 3 1/2 feet - really luxuriant in growth and patches of meadow grass spot the landscape.

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.

Lilleland 1933 Itinerary ont July 27. Our overnight camp was 2 1/2 mi Ex N of Twin Spring. Left camp at 6:30 am. Drove to Twin Spring, crossed a small creek. Saw at least six Jack Rabbits grazing around a corral in meadow grass. W. Russell shot an Ammospermophilus near barn of place belonging to Johnnie Wilson. In the middle of what might be termed the yard or foreground of Wilson's place was a pool formed apparently by a spring. The pool was well populated by small trout. Elevation here was 6250 ft by aneroid (altimeter). Drove on to Nyala where we unloaded gasoline drums and thence to camp. Before reaching Nyala we drove to site of our recent camp at Big Creek to recoup some rope, a pick and minor items that had been overlooked. While looking around for these W. Russell spotted a large Rattlesnake. He was crawling over some old garbage. W. Russell went back to car to get his gun. I struck once with a stick and stunned him and held him until the battery arrived. He was over 39 inches long - five rattles and a button. Recall that while we were at

Operation Rescue staff while we were at over 20 inches long - five rattles and a stick and stared him and held a stick and shot his gun. I stuck once with an old garbage can.

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.

Lake #1 Camp Site Stream July 28 Took 16 Peromyscus maniculatus in morning. Rain has sprung many of traps so I reset many of them. In afternoon I found one Eutamias m. pictus and four more Peromyscus maniculatus. In late afternoon I set out 55 traps up over the side of the wash or mountainside as indicated in map. Came right over the Ridge and down to camp Estimate elevation on top of Ridge at 7000 ft. Campsite is 6700 ft. Ephedra, junipers pionion and mountain mahogany grow clear to the top of this Ridge.

Lilleland 1933 Itinerary, 38 Cont'd July 28 Neotoma lepida, faeces in rock crevices, juniper twigs scattered about burrow etc. July 29. Took 5 Peromyscus truei, 2 Neotoma lepida, one Peromyscus crinitus, one live Eutamias dorsalis and 10 Peromyscus maniculatus. The adults of the latter seem to me redder in color than those I have taken here before. Neotoma was taken in the rocks (adult) young, was taken on W slope 70 ft., from nearest rock. The Peromyscus truei without exception were taken on the top of the ridge. The single Eutamias dorsalis was taken under a large juniper tree on west slope. Caught by back- it (?) was jumping around when I came up to it. Released it and put it into a sock, hoping to keep it alive. Peromyscus crinitus was taken near the top on W side. Made up specimens in afternoon. July 30 Set traps for bushy tailed Neotoma with Jack Arnold on previous evening- rain had set off some traps. A few had been cleaned of bait and not sprung. Took only one Peromyculus

Lilleland 1933 Contd July 30 Itinerary- After collecting the traps, I hunted up the canyon. Shot a 'woodhouse jay', a tanager, Piranga ludoriciana and at the head of the canyon a Eutamias quadriuit. attus. The latter was on a vertical rock wall a short distance from a small spring. The vegetation in this canyon was quite different from that in Burned Corral Canyon proper. Conspicuous were a small leaved maple, firs and limber pines. Birds were plentiful. Chickadees, Rock Sparrows, grosbeaks (black headed) Clarks' Crows in addition to those previously mentioned occurred in numbers. Was disappointed in not getting the Bushy Tailed Rat especially since faces and burrows or nesting materials pointed so directly to his presence. Frequent caves made this locality especially desirable for the life of the Bushy Tail. July 31st Hunted up the valley E of the road to Sharps. Shot a young towhee, a chickadee and what I took to be a Vermifora lutescens. Saw a large doe just above a rock slide E and N of the only spring that I found along this route. Worked up the canyon to the saddle between the

Eureka, Austin, Fallon, and camped E of Sparks for the night. At or near Austin, saw a large red tailed hawk swoop down and pick some rodent off the highway - beating a smaller marsh hawk out of the prey. Aug 2 Started off at 4.45 am. Had breakfast at Reno; stopped at Truckee for three hours while waiting for a wheel and brake adjustment on the Dodge Truck. Left Truckee 1045 am. Stopped at Colfax 118 p.m. for lunch - Arrived in Berkeley 545 p.m. Four ninths of party completed trip - 3 continued in Nevada with Reno. 2 left party third week on account of illness - Very successful trip -

July 11. Walking up canyon about 5 15 am.. Saw Eutamias dorsalis on rocky ledge. Had always understood that Eutamias did not appear until after sun shone on burrow or rock ledge. There was one up and out certainly before the sun reached him. Taken on north side of canyon about 3/10 of a mile above camp. First male taken.
