Barclay. Wasatch Mts. 4
May 1st
Took the 8 am. train on the Utah
Central for Barclay where we
arrived shortly after 9 o'clock
Secured board after some trouble
with the people at the station
house. In the afternoon set traps
and shot a few chipmunks
and one S. Castanarius. near
the ridge north of the rail
road. S. armatus very common.
Shot. Dendragapus and Bousa
May 2. Made a small catch but
nothing of much importance.
set loose traps.
May 3. Caught an Eustonup in Buck
trust. in Caum a little below Barclay.
Also took Microtus in the same place
Next up the Caum from the "back-
switch" below Barclay. 3 or 4 miles
to Mr. Bullock's place. Got a boy to go
out with me to try to get some rabbits
but was unsuccessful. Saw fresh
tracks of Lepus & Lynx and started
a bear from its bed beneath a
fritter. Shot a weasel near the
"back switch" and some chipmunks
and spermophiles in the Caum
Got 250 species of chipmunks.
The common small one and a large
one piled up the Caum at an approxi-
mate altitude of 7500 feet.
