M. Stone 1941 July 13 2 mi. S Mt. Rose, 8500 ft., Washoe Co., Nev. 2 grouse, saw several chipmunks in rocky ledges bordered by Pinus albicaulis, many gopher ropes on the ridges some of which led into the patches of unmelted snow. I also saw several Callospermophilus & 1 Citellus beldingi on the high ridges as well as marmot droppings. The camp is situated in the Canadian life zone. The dominant plants are Pinus contorta and Douglasia mestensiana starts a little above camp with Pinus monticola, generally higher as Pinus flexilis & P. albicaulis. Populus tremuloides occurs in clumps usually in the bottoms of canyons. There are many little mt. meadows filled with grass & numerous wild flowers. Other kinds of wild flowers grow up to & apparently above timber line. We are leaving this afternoon for Virginia City.
