WB Davis 1936 Elba, Cassia Co., Idaho, Jan. 1. from the log pile. No tail mark was discernible in the snow. In the juniper area, however, I saw larger tracks made by an animal that progressed by hopping - - as evidence the feet being placed opposite each other), and there was a distinct tail mark). These I took to be tracks of [Sipuelomyp]). Along Quaking Aspen Creek where the water was not frozen over I flushed several Jack Snipes. The snow in this region was about 12" deep). Jan. 2. Today I left Elba and drove over the pass into Albion and thence to Rupert. The roads were in poor condition, on the Elba side of the pass there was snow to truck while on the Albion side I ran into rain and mud. Rained nearly all day. I stopped in Albion to see Raymond Wickel who had a Coyote skin that he had taken about the first of December in the hills south of Albion. The skin was from a large male and was dark in color. Paid him $4.00 for it, IKe promises the skull later.
