Sulphur, 4042 ft., Humboldt Co., Nev.
July 26 (cont.)
The country throughout the trip was
barren except for the usual low bushes.
No trees were seen & very few rock
ledges could be seen along the way.
Both Juno & Venado are situated on the
Dry flat labeled.
Owner of hotel in which we are staying
came in this morning & among other things
told us that the Kit Fox was quite common
around Sulphur & would often be caught
in traps set for Coyotes, thus being a
nuisance.
July 27.
6:00 P.M. July 26, E. R. Hall & I drove
to within a mile of Black Rock Point.
The exact locality being 10 ½ mi. W &
6 mi. N Sulphur, Humboldt Co., Nev. at which
place we each set a line of traps. 62
mouse traps were set on a lava rock
slope on which a few low scattered Sacobate
washes could be found. A few of these traps
ranged across the line into Pershing Co., Nev.
24 mouse traps were placed along a dry
wash that ran out onto the alkaline
flat. From those traps set among the
rocks 1 Perognathus fammosus, 1 P. longus
membris, 2 Dipodops merriami, 3 Peromyscus
erinitus & 3 Peromyscus maniculatus.
