Hendry Creek, 9,100 ft., 1/2 mi. E of Thorne's, White Pine Co., Nevada Lee Arnold 1937 June 21, it is for as I could before losing it. I looked around the surrounding territory thoroughly for signs of holes or feces piled on rocks. The most likely place for a burrow was on the side of a overgrown talus slope west of the spot where I saw the marmot. Close search did not reveal anything however. On the opposite side of the creek was a high bank of rock where woodrat sign was abundant. To one side of the face of the escarpment and burrowed under it was a hole large enough for a marmot although there was no feces to be seen. Today I went down to the spot for the sole purpose of seeing if I could shoot or trap it. I waited around for several hours but did not see or hear it. I set three steel traps in and around the hole under on the side of the cliff. June 22, Last night I set 50 mouse traps down the creek. I caught: 1. Sorex palustris 5 Peromyscus maniculatus Today we are moving camp so I will try to summarize what I have noted in this area.
