is quite dry and covered by sage, clover; scattered aspen;
Oak and yellow pine (generally small trees). After about 30 min.
while I had found no sign of gophers.
We skinned until about 2:30 P.M. then packed up and
left about 3:25 P.M. I picked up 2 more T. townsendi before
we left.
Drove to the range of hills Wolf Bald Mtn. in the
Northwestern part of the Honey Lake Valley looking for
T. talpoides. Although we found no gopher sign

hills to the Nwe decided to try to find a
Microdipodops locality at Warm Spring, 9 mi. E.
Llunadee. We enquired at a ranch (High Rock)
in the vicinity but without finding out the
location of Warm Spring. However, they said that
there was a warm spring on the ranch. Later consider-

dinner we got out our snap traps. Turned in about
