Kaye - (1933.
82.
French Gulch, 6700 ft., Piute Mts.
- Oct. 30, 1933.
one of the logs bridging the two habitats
at the bottom of the canyon. It is neither
one or the other of the two chipmunks,
but is, rather, a mixture of the two.
(His number is "309") It has the tail of
the merriami, and the head markings
of the merriami; while his whole
general body coloration and design
are resemble to the quadrivittatus.
His measurements are between the two.
I'll try to get more like him tomorrow,
on our last day here.
Trap record: From my meadow
creek line I took a pack rat, (from
the same trap in which I caught two
chipmunks and one other pack rat.)
I had the bait taken again from
the same steel trap which was robbed
up the canyon last time. I saw
fresh coyote tracks, not too near the
trap; so it may or may not be a
coon which is doing the "thieving".
I could make out no tracks near
the trap.
