[♂ ♂ was caught in this same place two days ago and yesterday a ♀ in a trap 10 ft. away in the same thicket]; 1 ♀ Neotoma f. fuscipes at end of old rotten log some 30 ft. from nest; one ♀ Eutamias townsendi ochrogens taken in mouse trap in litter of small twigs at base of Douglas Spruce; The total caught then was: 3 R.m. rubidus, 2 Neotoma f. fuscipes, and 1 Eutamias t. ochrogens. While running the trap line 1 ♂ Sciurus douglasii was shot in Douglas Spruce and shortly after a ♀ was shot some 30 ft. away also from a Douglas Spruce. This is undoubtedly a pair.
