Longmont 1939 Itinerary Aug. 22 Alcorn Ranch, Fallon Nevada ended the chase and we dispatched it in short order. After skinning out the antelope we drove on to Tonopah and had dinner and then on to Fallon reaching there about 1:30 A.M. Today has been spent in packing specimens and fleshing out the antelope skeleton. This evening Alcorn and I set out some mouse traps at the W. side of Soda Lake, Cuchill Co. Nevada. Aug. 23 Alcorn Ranch, 4000 ft., 4 mi. W Fallon, Cuchillos, Nev. Last evening I collected a large Pituophis catenifer in the road nearby. I also set out 75 mouse traps and caught: Dipodomys merriami 20 ? g. Microdipodops megacephalus 10 ? g. The traps were baited with oatmeal and set 5-10 yd. apart among low sagebrush and greasewood at W. end Soda Lake, 3900 ft., Cuchill Co., Nevada
