\frac{1}{2} mi. W Verdi, 4400 ft., W side Truckee R., Washoe Co., Nev.
July 3 chipmunk.
The rest of the afternoon was spent
around camp. Occasionally one or another
of the party would go out with shot gun
to see what they could bring in. About
5: P.M. trap lines were again set out. E. R. Hall
+ I took the road going E out of Verdi.
1 \frac{1}{4} mi out of town two marmots were
seen by the side of the road. E.R. Hall
went back to camp after steel traps
while I set out 43 traps \frac{1}{4} of a mile
farther up the road on a hill that
was quite barren except for a scattering
of small Artemesia bushes. Small
rocks were in great profusion. Some
of the traps were set on + around a
rock slide on this same hill, others were
set in a dry wash at the bottom of the
hill. As on the previous night nothing
was taken.
After dinner + as it began to grow dark
we tried to shoot some more bats. There
was a good breeze coming from the south
+ very few bats were seen. These were
all flying much lower then on the
previous evening. Only one (a Myotis was
taken by D & Smiley.
