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.
