Gilmore Dicrostonyx (3)
1931
about and under the rocks but only
one of the 15 traps set there produced
a lemming.
Sept. 19 Unalaska. Spec. 2150 was taken
in the same locality as the last one.
Skull was damaged and it had 3
medium sized embryos.
Probably the Dicrostonyx population
is larger up around Pyramid Peak
which has numerous rock slides on
its north & west faces.
Later: Investigated Pyramid Peak &
found the rock slides to be small
and thin & devoid of Dicrostonyx
sign.
Oct. 16 Akutan Bay Akutan Is. E. Aleutians
There are mouse sign up to the tops
of the adjacent peaks and in the
scattered rock slides but I have my doubts
whether they were made by Dicrostonyx.
A heavy slide that I investigated
had no sign like the rock slide
at Unalaska.
