Feathers.
Jan. 10, 1934.
500 + ft., Colorado R., 14 mi. N. E.
Searchlight, Clark Co., Nevada -
Castor canadensis.
Beaver tracks and cuttings were noticed
at the river-edge in the mud, at a place
where the bank was about six feet high.
The cuttings were willow shoots. Some had
the basal end embedded in the mud, while
others were lying in the water. The river flow
was comparatively swift at this point, and the
channel deep, with precipitous banks.
Three no. 4 steel traps were set at this
place, willow shoots being used for bait.
Jan. 13, 1934.
Colorado R., 31 mi. N, 2 1/2 mi. W Camp Mohave,
Mohave Co., Arizona.
I set three no. 4 traps here for beaver.
The animals seem to have been here re-
eently, but I smoothed out the dust at
the tops of numerous slides, in order to
determine whether there are any beaver
here at the present time.
