E. M. Brock 1955 Journal near Bangkok was given alive to Dr. Pearson of M.V.Z., but the tree shrew did in captivity on June 27 and was prepared as a study skin while the entire skeleton was also saved. The date of original capture is not known. July 3. A bedding ground squirrel was shot with a .22 rifle slug at Sagehen Creek basin. Left a slight hole in the skin but skull and skin saved and in good condition. July 5 A female chipmunk was found dead in a live trap set out in hopes of catching a weasel. The death bedding ground squirrel was used for bait. The chipmunk was dead in the morning since the temperature got down to 23°F the previous night. July 15 A gazing upon checking my cotton supply in the laboratory at Sagehen Camp, I noticed that much of the cotton had been torn into small pieces, then I noticed the cotton move. A Peromyscus had made its home here. This mouse was later prepared as a study skin. July 17 On way to Truckee from Sagehen Basin a bedding ground squirrel was found near the bridge crossing Crosser Creek. The squirrel was put up on July 18. July 7 The golden mantled ground squirrel found death on the road on July 7, 1955 was prepared as a study skin on July 20. The skull was not worth saving.
