1935.
Castor canadensis.
July 14. Goose Creek, 5000 ft., 2 mi. W Utah Line, Elko Co., Nevada.
One young caught by Mr. Russell & Mr. Richardson
in Goose Creek. Weight about 7 lbs. Skin prepared
by A. E. Peterson. Exact weight found to be 2645 g.
According to Mr. Evert, old trapper at Goose Creek,
beaver travel considerably & hence may not visit
any of the traps set in any one sector of stream.
Thus to catch one trapping may have to cover a
period of a week or two, as the animals do return
to hunts repeatedly in due time.
