July 13 Friday the thirteenth. From traps
on hillside Cat Creek 8900ft, Mt. Grant
Mineral Co., Nevada, thirteen Peromyscus
maniculatus and one Perognathus
parvus and from the gopher traps
in the Cat Creek Meadow- one specimen
of Thomomys quadratus.
From traps set near camp in
Japan Canyon I took out during
the day five Thomomys
quadratus. Set traps for Microtus e. nevizi.
a sector of boggy ground near
the placer mine in Japan Canyon was
extensively cross-crossed with trails
noticeably containing Microtus
droppings and pieces of cut grass.
The runways were for the most
part in quite moist ground.
I placed the traps in the runways
but got only two Microtus montanus.
In mouse traps away from the bog
I caught two Peromyscus maniculatus
and in the reset gopher traps I found
two Thomomys quadratus.
In the afternoon we moved down
the mountains to Cottonwood Creek 7500ft
Mt. Grant, Mineral Co., Nevada. In the
evening I went up Cottonwood Creek [?]900ft
