Wolfson 1938 22. triv. SW Prineville, 3300 ft., Crooks Co., Oregon: and scattered patches of Chrysotbannum The soil here seemed drier and saudier than in the surrounding land. It was surrounded on the E, S, W, sides by shrubby growth as described above and lacked Junipers. On the N side was the Highway to Redmond, No. 28. On the W and S sides there was a ridge where the shrubby growth begins. This ridge slopes to SW and contains rocks abundantly, and several rock piles. In the rock piles were found two Scolopax which don't look like occidentalis. The tracks are streaked and there is a purplish band, or irridescence, exterior to blue band on each side of midline. Some blue is lacking from one which appears to be a F. Mountain Bluebirds and Brewer Sparrows are common in this area. In the evening set 100 traps about 30 ft. apart entirely in the open sandy places and none were placed under any brush or cover in the sink region. The
