Field Trips.
20 miles S. E. Pocatello. Camp, Tuesday
alt. 6300 ft. Banook Co. Idaho.
October 1.-1932.
While attending a Boy Scout
activity at Camp Tuesday Oct. 1 and 2nd,
I took advantage of the occasion to
trap some small mammals.
19 traps were placed on tree trunks
and leaning trees, baited with dried
figs, for flying squirrels, but no
specimens were taken.
30 more traps were placed in the
vicinity where Zapus had been
previously taken, but only Peromyscus,
Clethrionomys and Eutamias were taken.
19 more traps set in and around
marshy shrubs secured one each of
M. richardsoni, M. microps and
Sorex vagrans.
17 gopher traps set along the
creek bottoms secured seven J.
mintus and one M. arizonensis. This,
tho unusual, I considered an unusual
catch. Total catch:- 1 Sorex, 1 Ml.
richardsoni, 1 Ml. microps, 1 Clethrionomys,
1 Eutamias, 1 Mustela arizonensis, 7
Peromyscus and 9 Baranycus.
