1935.
Superb, Minidoka Co., Idaho June 15
410
12 miles S of Malta. Here I found
C. oregonus, Q. armatus and C.
mollis in the same field and
all within 25 yards of each other.
Again my impression that Oregonus
and armatus occupy the sametypes
of habitat seemed to be demonstrated.
The armatus were found around
a deserted barn, its corral and a
pile of wood. oregonus were found
in clumps of "Wild Rye", yet each
I believe were competitors for the
available food source. Q. mollis
were found in that peculiar
day like soil again and seemed to
prefer open places for their burrows.
though several burrows were
seen at the base of Lithos Atriplex
and Artemisia bushes. There is no
competition between mollis and
the other two squirrels so far as I
could see.
This P.M. I drove from Elba
to Superb via Malta and Idahoome
about 6 mi. N of [illegible] Malta
I saw to C. mollis and to Eutamia
minimus, none of which were
collected. At about 10 mi. East of
