Brooks 1934 July 6 continued doves, magpies, robins, linnets and blackbird along the road home to camp. The day was very windy and it was difficult to prepare skins. There was much dust and sand in the air. I set no traps. July 7 We packed camps went into Yeumont and then on to the Indian Agency near Schurz. The country is very desolate except for a little irrigation along the Walker River. There is more sand here in this part of the Valley than in Mason Valley. From Schurz we went south to a location 3 mi., S. Schurz, 4100 ft., Mineral Co., Nevada we camped in a grove of cottonwoods near the Walker river. It was quite warm but not excessively so in the shade. I set out forty two traps in nearly a straight line east of camp. I followed the line back and one trap I found a Ammospermophilus leucurus. July 8 Gathered the catch from the trap lines. Most of the catch was kangaroo rats.
