W.B. Davis 1936 2 mi. E Latimer, 5200 ft., Lake Co., Oregon. May 21. 523 and 7 Peromyscus maniculatus, 38, 48, all of which were discarded. Used peanut butter for bait, but doubt that is any better than rolled oats. Maybe a mixture of the two would be better. The two Zapus were taken in the same general area where the first one was taken, one in the same trap and at the same spot. The other, with damaged tail, was taken under some fallen Artemisia where I had taken a Peromyscus the previous night. Nothing in the gopher sets. Sun is shining this A.M. but the sky is cloudy. Froze ice on water in our pans last night. Pequequat and I took a hike up the canyon about a mile or two. Left camp at noon and were back about 3:30. The canyon broadens out about a mile from camp and the creek forks, one coming in from the north the other from the east. I followed the east fork for 1/2 to 1 mile. The elevation is about 200 ft. higher than camp and the Pines and Juniper Gives way to Willows, Quaking Aspen, yellow Pine and fir. In most places the sage brush is dwarfed. Also some.
