Tajidea tatus On Pole Line Road, about 10 mi. N.E. of Hayen, Churchill Co., Nev. December 26, 1939. Today in company with Mr. Vernon Mills & Dr. Wendell Chapman I found where a badger had thrown fresh dirt out onto the three or four inches of snow which fell last night and yesterday. The hole about 8 or 10 inches in diameter was open & clean down for 2 1/2 feet at which point it was partially plugged. Only an inch or two clearance for was left from the roof of the tunnel to the top of the "plugging". This clearly showed that the badger was in this hole as all tracks lead into the hole & the plugged hole indicated that a badger inhabited it. Three traps were set at the mouth of the hole & a daily watch is to be undertaken to determine when the badger.
