Portland - Oct. 4
Jewett has a beautiful series of Dryobates pubescens homores, fall-taken, from eastern Oregon. One of these (no. 5831, &; Home Creek, Harney Coct. 19, 1928) has no trace of black bar on outer pair of tail-feathers. All are brilliantly white, and white extends This is practically from the Steens Mountains. A new form!
Jewett has certain rare birds wrapped in cellophane - saves them from sweaty hands! Excellent for use on birds that have been bug-eaten or broken. Adopt. To "glue" ends dissolve cellophane in acetone [or use zonolite which is like cellophan.
4:00 p.m. - At Jewett's house, in East Portland. Looking at Thomomys:
There are 4 ougonus, from vicinity of Oregon City; a very rare animal; two in bulb gardens - burrowing like mo but with little or no wounding.
A large series (20+) of douglasii, mostly from west of Portland. Tow the Cascades (on which mazama is the presumed form - lots here), only a few: Mollala R. (east of Oregon)
