Sam B Richardson 934 Eutamias sequoiainsis July 18. Quaking Aspen Meadow, 7500 ft. Tahoe Co. California. This little animal is found abundantly in this area. Up to the present date (4 days) I have trapped 17 of this species. The majority of the specimens were caught in set traps baited with bacon and set near the fir trees near the meadow. Numerous individuals can be seen about camp during the warm part of the day running about the fallen trees and wood piles. When disturbed they merely retreat to a tree climbing to safety on the farther side. Yesterday I saw one individual that was apparently foraging over the lower branches of a fir tree. July 23 Still catching 3 or 4 specimens a day from the same sets as described above.
