1935.
Niles 6 mi. W Murphy, Cwyhee Co.,
Idaho. May 23,
Sinker Creek, Rabbit Creek and Reynolds
Creek. We were told that we might
possibly find some at this locality
though on the way out here and
after getting here we saw no indication
of their presence.
We are camped at a cabin about
half way between Murphy and Reynolds.
There is a small spring and a
party fenced in area that may have
been cultivated. The road distance
from Murphy is seven miles.
May 24,
I packed specimens this morning
and put up a West. Warbling Vireo and
a West. Lark Sparrow which I collected
here this A.M. In the afternoon I took
a circuit through the hills to see if
I could locate any fresh signs of
Citellus leucodon. This camp is near
the type locality. Twining and
Alrick did the same. Each of us
found abundant indication that
they have been in this area, but all
the mounds are old and the burrow
entrances are caved in or covered
up. None of us found any squirrels)
