Eutamias meridianus meridianus
July 29, 1929.
A single individual, an adult male,
was taken at a large outcropping
of granite boulders on the south
facing slope at Bear Valley Dam, 3700 ft.
San Bernardino Mtn., San Bernardino Co.
Calif.
July 30, 1929
A second individual, an adult male,
taken at the end of a log under a manzanita bush on the south facing
slope at Bear Valley Dam 7000 ft. San
Bernardino Mtn., San Bernardino Co.
Calif.
Oct. 22, 1929
One Meriian chipmunk was seen
scampering up through the rocks, on
the north facing slope of the Little San Ber-
nardino Mtn., at the desert's edge, 23 mi.
N.E. of Whitewater Station, Riverside Co.
California at 4700 ft.? The slope was
mainly covered with Pinyon and Juniper
trees, with cat-claw and scrub oak
in the wash bottoms. This individual
was shot, and pieces of pinyon nuts were
found in its cheek pouches. The very
dark winter pelage covered the body, and
the usual bright summer markings
about the forepart indistinct. Before
other individual was seen, late in
the afternoon, as the majority of these
chipmunks had presumably retired to
their winter quarters, well supplied
with nuts, or other seeds of desert plants.
