M.F. Smith 1980 JOURNAL Cebolita Creek, 16.3 mi. S Grants, Valencia Co., New Mexico, 6800 ft. May 17 Set up camp in a pretty spot in open fields between the lava flow and rocky cliffs, in scattered junipers. A rancher told us that the cattle had just been moved out of the field that day. We need a sample of T.b. collis from this area. This subspecies is probably related to T.b. conectens from the Albuquerque area, whereas the subspecies on the west side of the lava flow, T.b. morulus, is probably very closely related or the same as T.b. falvus. Evidence of gopher activity in this area is mostly small plugs. I had difficulty locating fresh digging in my area. I got 4 animals out of the 12 sets I put out. Jim and Carol got 23 animals. Then we pulled the Macabees, but they did put out some live traps to get animals for DNA analysis (C value). We finished processing, skinning, stuffing, and spinning the blood at about 9:30 pm. It was quite cold and windy. May 18 New pocket gophers from the vicinity of Mount Taylor, New Mexico by E.T. Hooper 1940 Occ. Papers of the Museum of Zool. Univ.
