Thomomys monticola (1)
Horse Mt., 4700-5200 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
June 5, 1933
Numerous working on crest & bare
knurkles on ridge east near Cold
Springs. The great majority of the
workings are winter cores but there
are a few scattered surface mounds
of recent date.
No. 2747 - had 4 pairs mammae
2 abdominal - 2 phaenic (essentially
in two sets). Taken by Belle at
about 400 ft alt., on dry hillside.
Evidently T. bottae & T. monticola
intermingle but do not interbreed
June 7, 1933
Spec. 2749 & 2750 were taken on grassy
barren knolls on crest ridge. One was
trapped in a burrow mouth scarcely
marked by a mound & the other at
a fresh mound which was indistinguishable
by me from mere mounds near
key. No. 2749 was taken in small
opening in heavy timber about 150
yds from bare crest ridge. Only
one mound area had been erected in
this clearing.
