Thomotyp quadrates
Edge
193d
June 30 2 mi. SW Pine Grove, 7250 ft. Mineral Co., Nev.
2 taken in small patch of meadow
at spring just N of Camp - 1 from 3
double sets. Soil - black loam with small
pieces of broken rock -
July 12th Mt Grant, Sappin Canyon 8900 ft., Mineral Co Nev.
Took two in thick grassy meadow
by the camp - Impressed me as being
a little browner than those at Pine Grove.
July '3 - Took three in grassy meadow SE
of camp about 100 yds - 3 sets - Several
of the mounds examined had three
runways leading from the mound.
Soil seems to be very fine grained loam,
mounds are fairly numerous in the
narrow meadow or band of grass
that lies on each side of the small
brook which runs up the valley -
In many places on the hillsides
in Artemisia filled in snow runway
could be found. These cylindrical
structures generally ran transversely
across the slope of the hill so that
they should check rapid run off of
water. Noted a few recent
mounds out in the Artemesia,
July 15 Cottonwood Creek 7400 ft., Mt Grant, Mineral Co., Nev.
Took one in small meadow at top of first E slope
150 yds North of Camp - Several other Volants noted there.
