age-1933. French Gulch, 6700 ft., Piute Mts., Oct. 25, 1933. The twigs and leaves are still green, and though each nest now has its trap, I have been able to catch but one pack rat. Oct. 26, 1933. My traps brought next to nothing this morning. I caught one boyleri from my meadow-creek line. I caught nothing in my steel traps. From my rat traps in the firs high up on the slope I caught a new kind of chip- munk. I shot a fox sparrow, a red-breasted nuthatch, up the west canyon the former from ceanothus, and the latter from a yellow pine, and from the willows in the meadows I shot a goldfinch, and from a flock flying over the meadow I shot a cedar waxwing. I set two more rat traps, and six mouse traps, also two steel traps up the west canyon this morning. Three rat traps and 4 mouse traps are in the north-facing slope of white fir, and the rest of the traps are in the canyon bottom. The firs are at an elevation of about 7500 to 8000 feet.
