Cottonwood Creek, 7700 ft., Mt. Grant, Mineral Co., Nev.
I shot two more flycatchers, a Western
Tanager and a Hermit Thrush.
Near this place I got a young fence lizard
Sceloporus.
In the evening I went upstream again and placed a trap for weasel near where I had seen an animal cross the river bed. On the way back to camp I tried a number of shots at bat which were abundant I shot one but it came down behind a clump of willows and in the twilight I could not locate it. I did locate some gopher digging.

Near the mine entrance I saw two small gray chipmunks probably young of E. quadrimaculatus. I shot a hermit thrush, Hylorchila guttata.
In the evening I again visited
