Eutamias merriami
April 20 Alaska 4400 ft Baja California
About six seen in one hour's walk
among the large granite boulders 1/2 mi west
of the town. They were very shy and it was
impossible to get near enough to them to
shoot except on one occasion in which the
animal escaped into the rocks after being
hit squarely by #10 shot at about 75 feet.
All were seen among the pino pine and
large granite boulders singly.
