Took one S (#16) in oat baited rat trap set in the entrance to an abandoned ground-squirrel burrow. The burrow was on rather steep gravelly bit of hillside facing southwest. Surrounding vegetation was mainly Artemesia and Bachaus with grass. The mouth of the burrow had grown up to weeds but fresh dirt about the mouth indicated recent work.

The burrow was about 1 1/2" by 2", and the entrance was filled with grass. In his cheek pouches were several seeds of some grass, apparently Bromus. Tail enlarged.
