It had very large tits and was apparently nursing young. When I went over to pick it up two ½ grown young ducked down a hole under the bush. I shot two Cnemidoporus of the same locality. En route for Reno we came by way of Pyramid and . On the NW side of the lake we saw numerous Ammospermophiles From Pyramid we came directly to Reno. June 3 Yesterday we traveled all day. We left our temporary camp site along the highway early in the morning and arrived in Baker, Nevada at dusk. En route we saw various mammals. At East Gate we saw two Marmots. These animals were seen in a wash about 75 feet from the road. When we stopped the car they disappeared into their holes. At the same stop we saw a Rock Squirrel. At various places in the mountains we saw Chipmunks and Callospermophiles. Fitch shot one of the latter while I shot a Eutamias. The
