June, Blair 1976 Journal 4 mi. E. Bridge Lugo Co, California May 23 Set 40 Sherman line traps in 2 lines of 20 0.4 mi. East of White Mts. Res. Station. This is a gravelly slope just east of a dirt road which marked the western most extent of remaining natural vegetation in the Owen Valley. Four O. majora and 2 O. merionis were taken, all but one were in the 10 traps nearest the road N Bleate Rd. = Line St. WHRS This area is primarily a shortscale area, with sarcobatus almost absent. It resembles the "gravelly benches" at Four Pine (type locality for L. m. merionis.) Than the sandy study site at Big Pine, although density of microps in all three places is about the same. June 9 50 Set 46 museum specials .4 N and .6 E of White Mts. Research Station. Baited with peanut butter.
