Feathers Jan. 19, 1934. 500+ ft., Colorado R., 1½ mi. S. & E. Searchlight, Clark Co., Nevada. Mephitis mephitis. I caught a female shunk in arrowweed association near here today. Its stomach was full of Dipodomys that I had used for bait. It was not fat. Hind feet wanting. Jan. 21, 1934. A male shunk was caught in a trap, set at the edge of the mead in a burrow. The shunk was quite fat. Its stomach contained merely the rats I had used for bait. Between the skin and flesh of the neck, were numerous worms. They were about 12 inches long, and about—the thickness of a household.
