Itinerary
Aug 10 Kingston Canyon
water cress and baited with oat meal. The catch was:
Peromyscus maniculatus 5075g
Sorex palustris 1g
Citellus grammurus 1g
The Citellus grammurus was caught at Kingston Canyon, 6350 ft., Lander Co., Nevada under a ledge of rocks about 50 ft. up on the N. side of the canyon.
About 9:30 AM a Mustela frenata chased a young Citellus (lateralis?) through camp but we were unable to collect it. About 12:30 we broke camp and drove to Eureka where we ate a belated lunch. In the Owl Club Saloon of the Eureka Hotel we observed a mounted head of an animal which appeared to be a cross between a mountain sheep and a domestic sheep. It had been raised somewhere in the Big Smoky Valley. There were several conflicting stories about it; however, one man claimed it was a cross between a deer and a domestic sheep.
From Eureka we went to Cly and then on to Baker where we camped at Baker Cr., 6600 ft., White Pine Co.
