Futamias townsendi ochrogenys (1) Horse Mt., 4700-5200 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. June 9, 1933 Not common; apparently in timber though one Taken in rocks and brush on crest of ridge. Apparently taken in timber & rocks near timber. Habitat not as yet easily distinguish- able from that of [illegible]. Coyote Peak, at 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. June 11, 1933 Since the sun came out (after 3 day absence & drizzling fog instead) These chipmunks have been active. Running my trap line thru timber yesterday at 4:30-5:00 P.M. I found many of Mouse traps in sheltered sets, under logs & brush, sprung, and one chipmunk in a very sheltered trap. This morning two rat traps in skimmeway sets among roots of large down tree feed chipmunks. One, no 2781 had pronges filled with a green herbaceous leaf - probably from an annual - and the stomach was filled with this green leaf mash. This specimen was probably caught during first two hours of day light this morning; no 2780, during last two hours yesterday.
