Crotales confluents (?)
8mi. ENE Paseo, 650ft., Franklin Co., Wash.
July 22
7:45 A.M. - While picking up traps in
sand dune covered with some
pagebrush and sparse cheat grass
a rattlesnake was observed at a distance
of 6 ft. The snake rattled and then
crawled about 4ft. under a small
bank beneath a pagebrush where
it remained partially coiled and
was shot.
