Thacker 1960 Thomomys "mayama" July 26 Dickerson Flat, 4200 ft. T38N R3E sec.6 Shasta Co. Calif. Yesterday I got out 8 sets and had two gophers this A.M. This locality is an open meadow in a forest of cedars, firs and pines. The "flat" is grass covered and periodically flooded. The gopher workings were around the edge between woods and meadow. July 27 Siskiyou Grass Lake, 5050 ft. T44N, R3W sec.23, Siskiyou Co., Calif. We stopped here about 1:30 PM to set traps for gophers I got out 8 sets in 45 minutes and we waited about an hour and a half longer before pulling up the traps. I had a single gopher. This locality is right along at U.S. 97. On the SE edge of the Valley. The gopher workings appear limited to a narrow strip along the edge of the valley. The grassy valley floor although grass covered floods periodically. The adjacent slopes are covered by yellow pine, sage and gresses. July 28 Mt. Shasta State Fish Hatchery 3440 ft. T40N, R4W sec.17, Siskiyou Co., Calif. Took two gophers this A.M. in the garden here. Soil is soft, slightly sandy, dark brown. I had traps set in a couple of other places around the grounds of the Hatchery including the lawn and a v. rocky, dry hayfield which had been recently cut over; but no success. July 28 Moosehead Creek, 4750 ft. T39N, R1E sec. 36, Shasta Co., Calif. Took two gophers here while we stopped at lunch time. This locality is along the N side of Moosehead creek where the road from Rt. 89 (just about 3 mi. SE of Bartel) to Big Bend crosses the creek for the second time.
