Field Trips
3 1/2 to 5 1/2 miles South East of Pocatello.
Oct. 1.- 2.- 1931.
Thursday Oct 1, I went from
Pocatello on the bunch road (south west side)
of the Portneuf River to a point
only 3 1/2 miles south east of
Pocatello and placed 15^
gopher traps in alfalfa
fields on river bottom land.
This cultivated area is only about
1/2 mile wide and supplied
with irrigation water from Mink
creek, 2 miles farther up the
Portneuf River.
Many fresh gopher workings
were noted in the irrigated fields
below the irrigation ditch.
I went on and took the
road up Mink creek about to
a point one mile south of the
junction of Mink Creek and Portneuf
River and one mile north
of the Richmond farm location
where J. tridgeri had been
taken. 5 traps were set
in a peach orchard 30 yards
from the creek. One specimen
taken here - Cat. No. 521- ♀.
