Thomomys (monticulae "pinetorum") = mayamum p.2
June 13.
Lombardi Ranch, 3525 f.; 1/2 mi. WNW Mt. Shasta Rd
iskiyou Co., Calif.
at 7 AM
Checked gopher traps over the oat and
alfalfa fields again. I had only three gophers.
- 2 adult & & (noo. 453-454) and a young ? (not saved).
One of my remaining two sets in the alfalfa had a
gopher. The other two came from the oat field.
Dr. Benson got 14 gophers during the night. I reset
all check traps that had taken gophers. I now have
5 sets ( 4 double, one single in the alfalfa). This
morning there are many recent working prints.
Most of my sets are now these recent workings.
Checked traps again about 4 P.M. I had six -
one from the alfalfa the remainder from the oat field.
Since we already have 26 skins we did not reset
the traps which took gophers. This afternoon's "catch"
included 1 ad. ?, 4 ad. & & and one young ? (not saved).
June 14
(Same locality as above)
I caught four gophers overnight. One adult ?,
one young ? and two ad. & &. We pulled all traps
from Lombardi's. The total "catch" amounted to 56 gophers
of which a total of 46 were saved.
June 18
Spring Creek Ranch (Mayte), 3560 ± ft, 0.2 mi W, 0.3 mi S Big Spring, Liskiyou Co., Calif. (T.40 N, R.4 W, sec.8). I took for young here this A.M.
This evening I had one ad. ?, one ad. & and one young ?
The ad. ? was taken at the extreme north end of the pasture, within
75 yds. of the place I had caught a typical monticula.
