Kawich P.O. 5900 ft., Mys G, Canada.

Sept. 25, 1931
Camp my trap line was empty, with
but traps sprung.
The line of 25 traps 5 miles S.E.
Kawich, 5400 ft., elevation contained
two dark colored Microdipodops.
These were caught as follows: one
was taken on the side of a small
rise where the ground was silty
covered with dark red colored gravel.
Here the ground was soft. The
other was taken on top of the rise
where the ground was the same,
but harder. Vegetation was not
very plentiful on top of the rise.
Over on the sand dunes several
hundred feet away the 30 traps I set
out last night contained 4 light
colored Microdipodops and 1 Dipodomys
(no) appearing like lemurs, but
very small!
The place where the light colored
Kangaroo mice were taken was pure
sand of a light color compared to
the area where the dark were taken.
One specimen was captured down
on a small flat sandy space
between two ridges of sand.
