Bartholomew 1941 Sciurus douglasii quercus July 22. 3 mi S Mt. Rose, 8500 ft., Washoe Co., Nevada At approximately 3:50 p.m. I shot one ♂ (5'5') which was digging in the decayed wood in the heart of a fallen yellow pine which was hollow. The fallen tree lay at the base of a slope covered with granite boulders. I spent 2½ hours within a quarter of a mile of this spot and this was the only squirrel seen.
