Couti, Blair 1973 Journal July 25 5 1/2 mi. NW Shaferne, White Pine Co., Nev. which had much H.triflex and sarcobates, growing on it. Here, in an island of pure sage, was a microgps habitat. Unfortunately, it had flooded recently, for the whole pon was covered with fresh silt, and there was no sign of animal activity. I suspect that all reports of micropgs from "sage" are from sand islets. Seeing no sign of diggings, we consulted our LACM locality list and found the above locality - 5 1/2 mi. NW Shaferne - as a microgps record. We returned to Hwy 93 and drove south 6 miles to the approximate site. Here there were many K-set holes, but almost all looked inactive, covered with calamus. We set traps on both sides of Hwy 93. Ross said he saw one active burrow complex, which we set with 4 traps. July 26 After camping by the hilltop at 7 mi. S.W. Osedla, we arose at 5:30 and collected plants (H.triflex and sarcobates) to use as food for the captives. We then drove to the trapping site and collected traps. Results as
