Ctellerus lateralis
Aug. 16. Kingston Canyon, 7000 ft. Lander Co., Nev.. About 10 a.m.-
in camp, my attention was attracted by a chatter of what I
saw was a C. lateralis pursued by a long-tailed weasel, full
grown, about 2 feet behind the Citellus. When Longhurst and
I leaped for our guns the two animals were frightened;
the weasel and squirrel ran in opposite directions and we
saw neither again. The weasel had a white spot patch
on its forehead. One Citellus lateralis was shot (not prepared)
about 200 yds above camp.
