rock upon which a huge nest had
been built and situated in the midst
of a dense thicket of Huckleberry Oak.
[♂ ♂ was caught in this same place

in a trap 10 ft. away in the same
thicket]; 1 ♀ Neotoma f. fuscipes at end

twigs at base of Douglas Spruce;

While running the trap line 1 ♂
Sciurus douglasii was shot in Douglas

Close by ♂ Sciurus giseus was
seen so these two species overlap here
