Field Trips.
3 miles S. W. American Falls.
Power Co. Idaho.
Oct. 15 - 1932.
While in Am. Falls on this date,
I drove S. W. of town about 1:30 P.M.
and looked for gopher sets. I
spent an hour in the irrigated
section and found no track of
gophers. I then resorted to inquiry,
and was directed to a canal bank
and R.R. right away where a gopher
was reported to have been taken.
This locality was visited and
some runs located. The soil
was almost pure fine sand and
evidence of very little activity. I
set fine traps and returned
four hours later, but had taken
none. This location was about 3
miles N. W. and across the Snake
River from the location at Indian
Springs where Thomomys bridgeri has
been collected. I had hoped to
take the thousand gophers here. My
brief survey suggests that gophers are
scarce south west of the Snake River
in this locality.
