Palmer 1934 Eutamias quadricittatus July 27. Peterson Creek, 7600 ft. Shoshone Mt., Landerb, Nev. Shot one in a rock-slide while hunting Conies. This one came out as soon as the sun hit the rock-slide. It first sat on a rock and washed itself with its tongue. By squeking I brought it up to within 3 ft of me where it stood on a small rock with its fore-feet on it and switched its tail rapidly back and forth. A movement scared it away far enough to shoot it.
