Scapanus latimanus (2) Silmane 1933 an area 75 ft long by 50 ft. wide. At the upper level of these workings the mole was caught. Trap was set about 1' down in tunnel. Angleworms were found in the damp ground while digging for the mole; perhaps these form food supply of mole. Evidence of habitation, such as shallow tunnels, small burrow mouths (both open and closed), are numerous thru brush, creek bed and timber. June 7, 1933 On the bare grassy knolls of the ridge near Cred Springs - 4 miles south east - are numerous evidence of moles and spec. no. 2751 came from this open ground association. The holes resembled gopher workings and at times I could not tell whether I was setting a trap in which a gopher or a mole might be caught.
