Gutt, Blein 1974 Journal To Mr. W. House Thief Springs, Kingston Range, San Bernardino Co., California. April 7 and complete tolerance by the female. As a result, I am assuming that the former is an offspring of the latter. The mounds were situated in cover with sand and lettuce and bladderash. Several of the females immediately began eating leaves of bladderash. We excavated three burrow systems, but found neither seed nor leaf coaches. All human complexes seem to be located in the base of Peach Thorn (Lycium cooperi) bushes -- not black sagebrush. Many of these complexes seem to be used by other rodents, either fox are dug by microps or kitwells, but porcupines and pronghorns use them extensively. I don't know whether a burrow complex can be said to indicate my particular species here - the relationship between microps and the antelope ground squirrel is unclear. April 8 This morning we picked up traps from an area west of the first night's trapping. [illegible]
