woods, the people living there.
The scarcity of pack rats as
compared to the number of good
nests in the meadows was
due also to the poison campaign.
Sufficient data on the
habits of the smaller mammals
is contained in the daily notes.
Pages 75 + 76 contain data w/results
of the poison campaign. Pages 80,
81, + 82 contain life history notes
on Neotamias quadrivittatus as
compared to Neotamias merriami.
A short history of the Walker Basin
country is contained in pages 100 +
101.
Probably the most interesting
and surprising part of our mammal
work lays in the fact of having
caught seven different genera of
mammals in a space no greater
than 20 by 20 square feet! From
this patch of tall, dead grass I
took dipodomyys, micrastus, sorex,
peromyscus, perognathus, withro-
dontangys, thomomys. This area is
described more fully on page 62.
