Portland - Oct. 4
Squaw Cr., 20 mi. W. Bend (east side)
drainage; but I can't see external
differences, in color or pelage
between douglasii and
mazama.
Skulls here are not,
cleared! These are in glass jars,
dry; could be routed out if needed.
Ten vigren are all black; no
brown-colored gophers from the localities
(around Mercer, Lane Co.) known to
Jewett. He has seen about 22 individuals
all told: no browns! They are scarce,
because ground there is "all humped up"
by voles (orarius and townsendii).
Buy gophers from Alex Walker - of all
races within reach; he would probably
get them at 75c each.
Elmer Griepentrog is young fellow;
works in a tannery; honestly a bit
dubious! Erratic - went to Hollywood &
work in movies!
Neotoma fuscipes: northernmost record:
station = Mulino, Clackamas Co., only 30 mi.
S and a little east of Portland; the skin
on which this record is based is in
Reed College; might be borrowed from
Prof. Lawrence E. Griffith there. It
has a skull.
The only two here
are from Gold Hill, Jackson Co., and
look to me just like NW Calif. fuscipes.
