Thaelec 1960 P.2 Thomomys monticola Apr. 16 2.0mi.S, 0.5 mi.W Beckworth, 4920+ ft., Plumas Co., Calif. Last night we set about 9 sets here around the base of a slight rise joints of the road into the nearby ranch. This is just W of the main road 5 from Beckworth. This area is cultivated pasture just W of the floor of the Sierra Valley on land that rises gently to the base of the mountains. The soil is loamy, easy to dig in, fairly dry. The area is covered with cultivated pasture. These gophers are REG #s208-211. Apr. 16. 2.0mi.N, 1.3 mi.E Calpine 4900+ ft., Sierra Co., Calif. of 7 P.M. Took one gopher here in sets that had been out shoulder of the for about 3 hrs. This locality is along the road from Calpine to Beckworth, on the floor of the valley. The adjacent land is covered with grass and a little scattered sage and the forest begins about a 1/4 mi. to the N.W. This specimen is R.E.G.#222. June 16 1.7mi.N, 1.3 mi E Calpine, 4910+ ft. Sierra Co., Calif. yesterday I got out about 10 sets for gophers along the side of the road here. Today I picked up 2 of this species from my traps Pete &hrann had several also. All the gopher workings we saw were restricted to the edge of the road. Here the soil was soft and deep - heavily covered w grass (a soft clod). No workings were seen farther E of the road beyond the fence. This land is brush covered and the soil may be harder. This locality is v. close or identical to the place where I got a single T. bathae last fall.
