Palmer 1934 July 22 (cont.) along the banks of the dry stream which was lined with Aspens and Willows with sparse grass beneath. The rest of the traps were set up a hillside in rocks or on dry gravelly soil with small, scattered bushes of Artemisia and a few Penions. July 23 Went Conie hunting in a rock slide about 1/2 mi. above camp at sunrise with D.H. Johnson and E.P. Hall but I got no Conies. Caught mammals of the following species in the 50 traps set at Smiths Creek, 6800 ft., Lander Co., Nev.: 21 Peromyscus maniculatus, 3 Perognathus parvus, 3 Oryzotus mordax, 1 Neotoma cinerea. Broke camp about 11 o'clock and the party drove down Smiths Creek to a point on Smiths Creek, 5800 ft., Lander Co., Nev. where we camped. Camp was close by Smiths Creek which is dry but the banks are lined with Quaking Aspen, Willows and tangles of wild rose. In the open spaces at the edge of the trees were sparse bunches of grass 3-4 ft. tall with salt grass and weeds between bunches. The Canyon here is quite broad where it opens out into Smiths Creek Valley and it sloped up gradually to low hills at the side. The slopes & the hills
