21 mi. W & 2 mi. N Lovelock, 4000 ft., Pershing Co., Nev.
July 30.
We started our trap lines from this tree.
24 traps were set out at a distance of
about 70 feet between the traps.
In the afternoon we saw an
Arkansas Kingbird fly into the tree
as we were setting traps & in the
morning a Mockingbird, identified by
W.C.R., was seen at the same place.
From this place I took 1 Peromyscus
maniculatus 1. Perognathus formosus
& 1 D. merriami. W.C.R. caught a
short horned horn toad here.
Shortly, afternoon of the 29th we broke
camp & left for Lovelock on our way to
the Humboldt Range of mts.
Aug. 1.
We made camp in El Dorado Can., 6000 ft.,
Humboldt Range, Pershing Co., Nev. in a
cabin beside the road leading up the canyon
20 yds. S of the cabin was a narrow stream
& very shallow. Trout had been planted
thus the spring before & number of small
ones were seen in a very shallow pool
some of them half out of the water. One
6in. trout was taken from the deep part
of this pool. Half of its body was
above the surface of the water which was
too shallow for it to swim in
