Traps at Pocland's Ranch and the sets along the
road N of Doyle. The latter yielded one Thomasys
townsendii from the set just off the paving of the
road. I returned to Herlay after dark.
Apr 4
Herlay, Lassen Co., Calif.
I returned to Pocland's Ranch this AM & J.M.
Carley and picked up my gopher sets and trapline.
The trapline yielded a Deoclanys panamius,
2 Reithrodontomys megalotis and 6 Peromyscus maniculatus.
I checked the traps on the sand dunes near Herlay and
took several Thomasys batten! Also the two sets along the
road near Herlay yielded another T. battae. I spent the
remainder of the AM skiing. In the PM, Marianne
and I went out set more traps. I had previously
seen so many large gopher mounds along the
road from Herlay S to US 395, in fields along
the west side of the Long Valley Creek. Since I
could not find people at home at the farm nearby,
it being late afternoon I contented myself with
making some sets adjacent to the fields, along
the road right-of-way. I got out 5 sets in these
workings which must be T. townsendii from the
range of the mounds and the tunnels. I set out
two more sets along the road north of here where I had
secured the T. battae this AM. Then I headed down
the road that runs E-W between Herlay and US 395.
Just to the W of the junction of E-W and N-S roads to Herlay
