M. B. Richardson 1934 2 May 19 Cutomias sequoiaeensis. Quaking Aspen Meadow Inland Co., California. Mr. Dixon and I observed one of these small squirrels climbing in the willows and feeding on catkins. The willows which were in full flower were in the meadow but bordered on one side by a group of Quaking Aspines. The squirrel reached a maximum height of about 15 feet off the ground, he did not remain at this height for any length of time. 22 Conrad Lake, 9346 ft. Inland Co., California.
