Rd. we returned to set traps. 27 June Trap success was fairly disappointing, I only caught one female (*3k). All the houses looked active with fresh fecal pellets, but perhaps the noise of trap setting kept them away. This female is much darker in pelage than the other specimens from this trip, but still has the white dorsal surface of the hind foot characteristic of N.F. streatori as described by Hooper. The site of capture was dominated by Arctostaphylos, Taxicodendron, and species of Quercus. The house of capture and the others were characteristic of most fuscipes houses - about 3 feet tall. I think N.F. streatori and the west side of the Sierra's will prove difficult
