J.P. Alcorn 1938 Citellus townsendi mollis 4 Feb. 14 1938 4 to 8 mi W Fallon, 4000 ft., Churchill County, Nevada squirrel had come out of their holes. I was about to give up when five miles west of Fallon, Nevada I saw a drain ditch bank that had a squirrel or two on it. This ditch ran North and South. I stayed around this bank which was 1/2 mile long, for about three hours and managed to kill 8 squirrels. Information collected as follows: Squirrel No. Total Length Tail H. Foot Weight Sex 1 9 1 13/16 1 5/16 5 1/2 ozs. ♂ 2 9 5/16 1 7/16 1 7/16 8 1/2 ozs. ♂ 3 8 15/16 2 1/16 1 7/16 5 1/2 ozs. ♂ 4 8 8/16 1 9/16 1 7/16 5 1/2 ozs. ♂ 5 9 1/16 1 13/16 1 7/16 6 1/2 ozs. ♂ 6 8 15/16 1 13/16 1 1/16 5 1/4 ozs. ♂ 7 9 1/16 1 13/16 1 8/16 8 3/4 ozs. ♂ 8 8 13/16 2 5/16 1 7/16 6 1/2 ozs. ♂ I only saw four (4) squirrels that I didn't kill. Apparently this was a nice warm place for them, as they are not so thick yet any place else in the valley. All squirrels except Nos. 3 and 6 had very full stomachs. Nos. 3 and 6 were empty. Nos. 3 and 6 were very fat, having a complete layer of fat up toward the squirrel head as the lungs or stomach. All the squirrels had some fat. No. 1 had only a small amount back toward its rectum. Feb. 17 1938 The squirrels may be seen scattered all over the valley. All of them haven't come out of hibernation yet.
