Peterson 1935. Citellus mollis mollis. July 2. 1mi. N Winnemucca, 4600ft., Humboldt Co., Nevada. Three shot by me, one wounded, on dry clayey + grevelly slopes+ flats covered with sage brush to W of Humboldt River. Fossorial pairs, very small external ears, color gray due to white hair at haitips or more or less black hair. Diurnal, wary, easily- alarmed. Avoid exposed trips. Run for burrow- upon approach, go in directly if person close by, or sit beside burrow if further away -100 ft. or more. Characteristic, monotonous note of distress sitting by or in burrow when alarmed. Skin difficult to prepare: skin, scrape, wash in soap+ water + finally wash in gasoline. Wet skin may, rather should, be put directly into gasoline. May be left there for several hours without injury. Didn't get weight of one due to loss of part of intestines. Unforgivably negligently forgot to make measurements of all three.
