Brode 1934 Itinerary June 27 2 mi. SW Pine Grove, 7250 ft., Mineral Co., Nevada. Left Berkeley, Calif., 9 A.M. June 26 1934 from Museum of Vertebrate Zoology with a party of seven in three cars. The members of the party were J. Stanley Brode, Elton R. Edge, Dawson A Feathers, E Raymond Hall (instructor), David H. Johnson, Fletcher G. Palmer, and Ward C Russell. We proceeded to the north to Carpinez Bridge, Fairfield, Davis; east to Sacramento, Placerville, Lake Tahoe and Carson City. South from Carson City, Nevada, to Mound, Gardnerville and about 15 miles further south where we camped for the night. The next morning we proceeded on to Wellington, from there we proceeded south to the Mason Valley southward to a point 4 1/2 mi. NE of Pine Grove, where we turned to the right up a canyon past Pine Grove to camp site as given at head of page; arrived here about 11:30 A.M.

Brade 1934 June 27 cont. Starting at 4:30 P.M. I placed a trap line down the valley, beginning at a point 500 yards north northeast of the camp site continuing down the valley but not following the stream bed for 3/4 of a mile with 22 mouse traps at this point (elevation 7150 ft.), I turned sharply to the southeast. I continued in a nearly straight line with 20 gov't.-mousetraps and two rat traps up the hillside 3/4 of a mile to an elevation of 7450 ft. On the first part of the line the traps were set in open spots free from plant life. These areas were located among Chryso-thamnus with a few scattered sages, wild currant, and an occasional piñon pine. The traps yielded one Entermias minus scrutator before 6:30 P.M. The last part of the trap line extended thru piñon pines and sage brush with occasional currant. The soil had more rocks and some had signs of cracked piñon nut shells.

rode 1934 June 28 In addition to the Entamias minimus scrutator caught last night the first part of the trap line (on the valley floor) yielded 6 Peromyscus maniculatus 2 Dipodomys lacoygens and one Perognathus parvus. On the hill side the traps yielded 6 Peromyscus maniculatus and one Dipodomys lacoygens. In one trap on lower portion that I missed in the morning and found by Palmer was a Perognathus parvus badly eaten by ants. At 1 P.M. I went over the upper trap line and found in traps, one Entamias minimus scrutator mm. and one Callospermophilus lateralis this part of the line was on the northwest facing hillside in Piñon pine and Artemisia The traps being set in open clear spots. At 6 P.M. I checked this same line again and found one adult Entamias minimus scrutator. I continued the line of traps up to the top of the ridge and down a draw toward the camp site. No change in plant life.

Brode 1937 June 29 In the early morning check on the old portion of the trapline (13 traps) only one Peromyscus maniculatus was found. The extension of the line (set last night) yielded [illegible], one at about 7450 ft elevation and one at 7600 ft. elevation, 1 Dipodomys lucogenys and nine Peromyscus maniculatus half of these were immature. Total traps set out 52; traps with specimens 12; Traps springing 5: Traps not springing but with bait missing 5. Large numbers of ants were along the trail and on some specimens there were red and black (large) ants and on some specimens there was a smaller ant that was a uniform light amber color- 1 AT 4 PM went by car with Hall and Palmer by road northward west into Mason Valley. The first collecting station was in an area at Mason Valley 12 mi. E of Wellington, Lyon Co., New Mexico, 5000 ft. Here I set out 48 traps in Atriplex, Sarcobatus, and a species of Chrysostemmus. I took a horned toad while setting trap and whip tailed lizard was seen.

June 24 cont. The second station was an area in Mason Valley 5 miles north of Pine Grove 5300 ft., Mineral Co., Nevada Here I set out 32 traps in similar habitat as in 1st station. June 30 4:30 A.M. we set out again to the stations above at the point 12 mi. E. of Wellington, 5000 ft., Lyon Co., Nevada I took four Dipodomys microps levis and 13 Pergnathus panaminticus out of 48 trap. 17 caught. 9 others were tripped. At the second station, as at top of page, I took one Dipodomys microps levis and seven Pergnathus longi-memberis panaminticus. 32 traps were set; eight had specimens; 5 were spring but had no specimens although these showed struggle, 4 had bait taken but were not springing. ants were present in two cases but not in others. One trap had a tail in it and the next trap had a mouse without a tail. Worked putting up specimens and writing up notes. Did not put out traps in P.M.. July 1 We packed and were ready to move by 9 A.M. We took a north leading

Broda 1934 July 1 continued. road down into Mason Valley to the state highway at a school house, about 15 mi. At the school house we turned to the west to the West Walker River. We followed the north bank of this river into a gorge through which it flows from the Smith Valley into the Mason Valley. We stopped in this gorge at a point 12 mi., S Yerington, 4600 ft., W. Walker R., Lyon Co., Nevada. This site is on the river and at this place there are a number of irrigation canals leaving the stream proper. The river is bordered with cottonwoods and willows which quickly runs out a short distance from the stream into Chrysosphanums, and near desert brushes. The valley is funnel- shaped at this point. As the valley narrows the sides become steeper and higher and are very rocky. In the broader portion of the funnel on the north side there is a pocket of unsegregated boulders, rocks sand and soil, which the river apparently deposited and then later cut its way thru.

Brooke 1934 July 1 continued In the late afternoon I took the gun and attempted to get some birds. I succeeded in getting one young bluebird and a linnet. I saw a large number of linnets fly from one shrub. A number of robins were in the cottonwoods. I shot at one and it glided down towards the opposite bank of river but I was not able to determine its final status. Later I saw a large flock of Magpies but I was unable to get close enough to them for an effective shot. A young blue heron went up and down the stream bed occasionally. A sage Phoebe was seen on a bush, it was shot by Palmer. I found one Uta Stansburiana and two Scolopax occidentalis near the camp site. The latter sought safety in climbing up the trunk of a cottonwood. I set out fifteen traps some in rock sand between Astralagus and Chrysanthemums and some in sand near the stream.

Brooks 1934 July 2 I took up trap line placed last night on the rocky sandy floors. There were three Peromyscus truei, in traps. I shot a willow goldfinch and two blackbirds. In the case of the blackbirds one was brought down from a flock in flight and the other was one of a flock of twelve in a bush. There were seen two other flocks of blackbirds one of the flocks being being redwing blackbirds. The directions of flight was to the southwest down the gorge. There were a large number of linnets in bushes. Several flocks of Magpies were seen in flight. Calls of the chat and the spotted towhee were heard in dense willow thickets near railroad tracks and irrigation ditches. Spent most of the day putting up bird skins. It was quite sultry and rained several times during the day. Late in the afternoon I took the gun and went down stream. I saw a number of robins, morning doves, a flicker and shot

July 2 cont. a Lazula bunting. I crossed the river found a number of small ditches and a pond that looked favorable for frogs and mosquitoes. There were no frogs seen but there were ample numbers of mosquitoes. There were a number of robins, many of them young; a flicker feeding on ant hill took to the trees on my approach. The 'streaming' of magpies up and down the gorge was interesting. They followed closely the bank or hill side near the upper irrigation canal a few in the lead would light in a cottonwood, those immediately following would proceed or part to the next trees and those following immediately after them would go on to further trees. There seemed no end to the stream. After a time those in the 1st cottonwood would interrupt the flight not necessarily with for the end of the line. In an half hour the parade started back over much the same route and varied it some by individuals sometimes

Brooke 1934 July 2 cont. lighting on the ground on the hillside and hoping a long time for a while or some would vary the line of streaming by coming closer to the river. I shot one of these. Others flew over head and scolded me for the deed. Three pairs of swallows did much flying about in the mosquito laden air. Later in the evening a few bats flew over the campsite. July 3 A.M Went out with gun but missed most of my shots. Hit young robin but could not find it after it volplaned into the brush. Got a green backed gold finch. I saw robins, doves, a flicker, a number of linnets and a jack rabbit. Very windy today- some dust; blew fly from over work tent and blew down the "chiefs" tent. I worked up two birds and the almost too ripe Peromyscus [illegible]. In the evening I crossed over to the south side of the river and set out 40 traps. I saw some ferox that looked large enough to be racoon.

Brode 1934 July 3 continued It was found on a ledge under an overhanging rock. I again noted the "streaming" of the magpies and shot one. I also shot a mourning dove. I saw a number of robins, flickers, and a blue heron. July 4 gathered up the traps set out last night on the south side of the river. There were eight specimens in the traps, all Peromyscus maniculatus. The ranged in location from the upper irrigation canal on the south side of the W. Walker River down to and on grassy plots among the cottonwood by the river. Near the pond to the east of camp (but on the south side of stream) I noted mole workings but they were not recent. I shot at a flicker but missed both when he was on the ground and when he was in the tree. Saw a number of doves robins and at some distance black birds. Shot a bluebird on a bush west near the upper irrigation canal. I shot at a robin it wheeled about and hung head down from the branch for a few seconds and then dropped

Brede 1934 July 4 continued but before it had gone a yard it recovered and flew to another tree. A second shot sent it volplaning across to irrigation ditches on toward the hillside. By the time I had managed to cross the streams I could not find any trace of the bird. I did find among the rocks of the hillside a whiptailed lizard, (Chenidophorus tessellatus). In the evening I crossed the railroad tracks and set traps at intervals from the base to the top of the gravel hill opposite camp. There are many boulders and all sizes of rock and soil very little plant life. Principal plants: at the base - near irrigation canal willows - then abruptly desert-like flora chiefly Atroples and Chryssothemnus. I saw definite signs of wood rat and kangaroo rat workings. July 5 Collected traps set out last night. At the base of the hill I found near the willows I found a Peromyscus crinitus and another of the same sort way up the hill. A short distance up

Broke 1934 July 5 cont. from the base of the hill were signs of woodrat work one mouse trap had been dragged to a crack between rocks a distance of four feet. another mouse trap contained a Nestomys lepidus. A rat trap contained a Perognathus formosus. Four more of these pocketmice were in mouse traps at various points on up the hillside, and one was found on top. Two Dipodomys microps levisei were found near their workings on flat benches on the hillside and one was found well back on the flat top of the hill. One Reithrodonomys megaleotis was in a trap near the base of the hill. In a total of 33 traps set, 13 had specimens in them; 8 were tripped. 4 had bait removed but not tripped and 8 were untouched. Earlier in the morning I took a Peromyscus maniculatus out of a trap 4 ft from my bed. The rest of the day until 3:30 PM spent preparing skins. At 3:50 I went with Dr. Hall to Yerington and got hunting

Brode 1934 July5 cont. Jacket. The day after the "Fourth" was a hard day for many of the Homo sapiens of that town judging from the looks on their faces. On the return trip we stopped at a farm and set out traps around a pond. There were many blackbirds about the pond including some "redwings", a number of Meadowlarks, some Maryland yellow-throats and several breedwork marsh wrens. On return to camp I went over to the base of the hill on the north again and shot a lazula bunting and a swallow. The swallows seem to be travelling up the "funnel" of the gorge and came pretty low over the hill. I did not retrieve the swallow that evening. I set traps near the wood rat and kangaroo rat workings. Skinned and fixed a woodrat after dayzen. July6 Up at 415. Went to the hill visited last night. Found the swallow.

Brode 1934 July 6 continued One trap contained a woodrat; two had Peromyscus crinitus in them. Got no kangaroo rats. Had only seven traps out one was sprung and a rat trap was still set but empty I bait. Before breakfast I went with Hall to the farm Mason Valley 6 mi., S Yerington, 4500 ft., W. Walker R., Lyon Co., Nevada where we had placed traps the night before. In run ways I found two Reithrodontomys megalotis in traps. Black birds, meadowlarks, marshland yellow-throat, and marsh wrens were abundant. Two terns flew over the pond. There were many signs of water birds about the margin of the ponds especially in the reeds, which was I shot a marsh wren, in the tall reeds. We noted many jackrabbits along the road. One ran a head of us for some distance the rabbit barely kept a head of the car going at a speed of 25 miles per hour. We saw a number of Sparrow hawks, prowning

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.

Brode 1934 July 8 cont'd. including 2 Dipodomys microps levis and 9 Dipodomys merriami The latter were found well out from the river and in rather hard soil with a little sand. There was one Perognathus longimembris panamian tinus and one Perognathus that seemed somewhat to favor P parvus. I noted a pair of barn swallows. I discovered the nest in a canal culvert under the railroad track. Shot the male. I noted fresh gopher workings near the side of the now dry irrigation canal. I saw two Bewa heroras at fairly close ranges, some quail, magpies and robins. The day was fairly warm; a slight breeze made working skins comfortable. In the evening afternoon found an Ammospophilus leucurus in a trap left out from the trap line but it had been out in the hot sun too long to put up. In the evening the traplines were re- set, including two gopher trap sets. I set out 52 traps. July 9. Collected traps and found there Dipodomys merriami and Dipodomys

Micros levipes, three Microdipode pallidus, one Thomomys bottae (in the bank of the dry irrigation canal) two Perognathus longimembris param- mintinus, one Onychomys torridus longicaudus, two Reithro- donornys megaleotis. These were found in trap line extending from camp on river onto and a quarter mile east into the desert. I'm coming back to camp a skull of a coyote and a skull of a dog were found. In digging for gopher settings I found a large Scaphisopus hammondi about 4 inch below the surface in moist earth of the gopher mound. At noon I went out to the gopher trap found one gopher, and on return to camp picked up a Seeloporus mazista. In the morning I had set a trap near camp and it had a Peromysco maniculotis in it In the opening and got another gopher from site. I set 25 traps near camp. While setting traps I found a Bufo boreas on the bank of stream. Visited shore of Walker Lake in late afternoon.

Brooks 1934 July 9 cont. We saw considerable workings of kangaroo rats, whistail, and gridiron lizards. I shot one of the latter. We saw several five gulls and flock of large brownish birds which flew in a flock low over the lake. As we went to and from the lake we saw at one point a family of burrowing owls. The lake has no outlet and is somewhat alkali but still supports some water weeds and snails. Old levels of the lake are quite high above the present level. At present very little water is reaching the lake by the Walker River due to demands of irrig- ation. July 10 Collected traps placed near camp last night found two Rithrodontys megalotis one on the bank of the stream in moist grass and one on ground under cottonwoods near camp. For several days I had watched a small burrow in front of which I had kept a

July 11 Morning day - packed up after putting up a few gophers - proceeded to Schurz. From Schurz we went south along the west side of Walker Lake to Cottonwood Canyon and up this canyon. on the way up this steep grade a number of lizards were seen, including collared lizard, whiptails, and fence lizards. At a rock in Cottonwood Canyon 5100 ft., Mineral Co., Nevada I caught a Sceloporus occidentalis. We made camp beyond the headwaters of this canyon near an abandoned placer mine in Japon Canyon, 8900 ft., Mt. Grant, Mineral Co., Nevada. After the camp had been set up, Hall took me with him up Mt. Grant to the 10,000 ft. level. We saw a number of horned larks, Sparrows and junco's as well as a large bird of prey being harassed by a small bird. We set traps at the end of the auto road on SW slope Mt. Grant, 10000 ft., Mineral Co., Nevada and returned to camp.

Bride 1934 July 12 This region abounds in Artemisia, up at our camp are several groves of Mountain Mahogany and in the draws are marshy meadows much over grazed. These meadows have a number of clumps of Iris, Mimulus, rushes, and grass. They are covered with "hummocks" made by the sheep and cattle trampling in the wet meadow. We noted an abundance of gopher workings. Before breakfast I shot a small sparrow Spizella breweri. After Breakfast I went with Hall again. We stopped in a meadow on Cut Creek, 8900 ft., Mt Grant, Mineral Co. Nevada to set five sets of traps for gophers. Then we proceeded up to the 10,000 ft. level on Mt. Grant where we gathered in our trap lines. I had nine Peromyscus maniculatus and three Lagomathus parvus in 12 of 25 sets. After this we went on up to the top of Mt Grant, 11,303 ft. The view from the top was very fine. The Sierras showed for mile to the west and southwest. Below to the east lay Walker Lake and to the southeast Hawthorne and the Naval ammunition depot.

One is impressed by the bare peaks, then a "zone" of pino pine, then a zone of Artemesia blending into the Pinon; and below that the desert. All this cut occasionally by canyon or streams bordered by aspens in the higher parts and by Cottonwoods in the lowlands. With in 200 ft elevation of the top we found workings of gophers and signs of over grazing. Dr. Hall saw a chip mark on one of the rocks on top. Many insects are on the top meadows — We went down the mountain to Cat Creek meadow rechecked our gopher traps taking out two gophers. Proceeded to camp and put up animals. In the evening I set out traps on the hill at the head waters of Cat Creek and Cottonwood creek near the site at which we had gopher traps Hall took in several gophers from these traps. Set out 5 sets of gopher traps near camp in Sapon Canol.

Brode 1934 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

Then down stream an easy mile to camp. July 15 I went up stream again with Hall. I found a young Nestoma cinerea in a cabin at Cottonwood Creeks, 7900' Mt. Grant, Mineral Co., Nevada, found near by on the trap lines set out last night. // Peromyscus maniculatus among rocks, among sage brush and near the stream. In one trap on the margin of the stream was a small Bufo boreas. While watching for the birds re-cover from my intrusion a noticed a light brown animal about a foot or so long dodge across the river bottom. It had all the "flash" symptoms of being a weasel. At this location a few feet further down stream I shot some birds - two flycatchers 418, 419, three junco's one male, one female and one young with a short tail. a quarter mile farther downstream,

Brode 1434 July 15 cont. 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. July 16 I went up to the weasel trap but I had not been disturbed tho' I had hung a birds body with a little scent from the anal glands of a weasel rubbed on the bait. Left the trap set. Then went downstream near a mine tunnel near which I shot a Callospermophilus lateralis and an Eutamias quadrimaculatus. 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

Bued 1934 July 16 took up the weasel trap. Coming down wnt. stream I took by gun a flycatcher and a Bush-tit the latter from a flock of at least fifty that "streamed" back and forth than the pinons very little effected by gun fire. I set two sets for gophers and attempted in vain to get some bats again as twilight settled down. July 17 I visited the gopher sets found one Thomomys talpoides gopher and took up the sets. Killed a young cottontail rabbit. Our camp-site here is in about the middle of the Pinion belt. The cottonwoods of the lower canyon are here replaced by Aspens with some willow and occasional cherry along the streams. Further a way from the stream are fagebrush (Artemisia), Sandburus Ribes, Chrysosphanus. Of the smaller plants most of them had recently been browsed off by sheep whose signs and tracks were everywhere. However in the shade of the aspens there were wild iris and yellow Mimulus and grasses. Early in the day we pre- pared to move.

Brook 1934 July 17 We went down Cottonwood Creek to ant. Wheeler Pass. Up and down steep grades of Wheeler Pass and then SW to Morgans Ranch, then a section of the hottest and most desolate country I have yet seen at an elevation of 5700 ft. we left the Pinons and at 53:00 ft. we left the sage brush gradually for Atroples and Sarcobatus. The geology of the region was interesting. At Morgans Ranch we were on the East Walker River, we continued north down this river to a point E. Walker R., 5050 ft., 2 mi. NW Morgans Ranch, Mineral Co., Nevada where we again set up camp. The East Walker River afforded the comfort of a bath and the shade of the Cottonwoods gave us relief from a hot sun and wind. But Oh! those ants!! In the evening I ran a line of traps upstream 300 yards and then across an old alfalfa field (now mostly Russian thistle) past a school house and Southwest to the to the top of a small hill with Atroples and Sarcobatus

Brode 1934 July 18 I gathered up my traps - finding very few animals near camp. The 10 traps set near the river yielded one Reithrodonomys megistus and one Peromyscus maniculatus. In the pasture, once in alfalfa, I got two Peromyscus maniculatus and shot two horned larks and a young Pigeon Jay. In the rocks and Atriplex I found a Bergomys longimembris panaminticus, that's a big catch out of 24 traps set. In returning to camp I noted signs and nest of Woodrats. Palmer and I went up to Morgans Ranch and set out gopher traps. I noted more mole workings than gophers. During the mid-day I put up skins. In the evening Palmer and I visited our gopher sets and found only one Thomomys bottae. On the way back I stopped off and set out 50 traps on the rock strewn rolling table land. I including some set traps where I had noted signs this morning. Set some traps where the rock was quite red - wonder whether the color of the mice will match. Found 2 Phossomys platyhinus mile setting traps

Brode 1934 July 19 In the fifty traps set last night I had only four specimens one young and one adult Neotoma lepida, one Peromyscus maniculatus in a trap on top of a large rock, and one Perognathus longimembris panamintinus. In the gopher traps at Morgans Ranch 5100 ft., E. Walker R. Mineral Co., Nevada I had one specimen. Palmer had two gophers in his traps there, which with the one I got there last night makes 4 specimens of Thomomys bottae from that locality. Late in the evening set out three sets for gophers near camp. July 20 Found one gopher in one set only, Thomomys bottae. Moving day packed and moved early stopped at Yerington, and then went on to Fallon where I left the party and returned to Berkeley. Having had a pleasant and profitable field trip.

Reset traps and set out more. Found spadefoot toad while digging out one gopher hill. At noon found another gopher in traps. In the evening I again visited the traps and got another gopher. July 10 Visited gopher trap in the morning found one specimen and made 3 more sets. Further visits during the day failed to yield specimens. July 18 Morgans Ranch, 5700 ft., E.

Brode 1934 Thomomys quadratus July 12 Cat Creek, 8900 ft., Mt Grant, Mineral Co, Nevada Traps set by Hall and Brode yielded several in A.M. gophers at noon and several more at evening. July 13 Took one specimen from this locality, a flat mountain meadow very much over grazed. In part of the meadow the soil was soft; in a part it was rather hard and covered with sod. In the soft soil the Tunn- els were large; in the sod covered harder soil the tunnels were smaller in diameter. Whether this was due to greater economy of effort in hard soil on part of gopher or whether in soft soil the walls constantly enlarge of their own accord and [illegible] the debris so formed removed is an interesting speculation. July 13 Lapon Canyon, 8900 ft., Mt. Grant, Mineral Co, Nev.

J.S. Brode 1934 Itinerary 2 mi NW Meacham, 3600 ft., Blue Mts., Umatilla Co., Oregon July 26 Set 55 traps (mouse) and 8 sets for gophers in Boy Scout Camp grounds a short distance from Ensignant Springs State Park. The area included some Second growth timber- (white fir, lodge pole pine, tamarack, douglas Fir), in which some of the traps were placed. The larger portion of the area was open covered only with a few low shrubs and willows. July 27 Found one Peromyscus in a trap placed near an old cabin in a trap and during the day four Eutamias were caught in traps left out but were not in usable condition because extreme heat. I shot one squirrel and from gopher trap two Thomomys quadratus were taken. Left 20 traps set out and went to Mecham Lake, 3800 ft., Blue Mts., Umatilla Co. Set out 5 [illegible] traps and ten gopher sets saw many bats and a number of toads.

JS Brode 1934 July 27 continued and a frog while setting traps. Some of the traps were set in Microtus runways in moist boggy grass near the lake some were set in near by woods and some in open clear areas. Gopher sets were made near the lake. July 28 Three Peromyscus were found in traps in the cleared area; Nine Microtus were found in the Microtus runways; Here were also found two Lones vagrans, in the wooded portion collected later in the morning was an Eutamais Two Thomomys quadratus were found in the sets. I tried to shoot some gray ground squirrels but failed to bag them, then I am certain that I hit several, judging from the bloodstreams leading to their burrows down which they seemed to have tumbled. We then returned to 2 mi. N W Meacham, 3600 ft., Umatilla Co., Ore. where three Thomomys quadratus were taken from sets placed here. Returned to Pendleton, Oregon. I had planned

Brode 1984 Entamaus Aug 23 Twin Government Camp 7100 ft., Palmer Valley Crater Lake Natl Park, Klamath Co, Ore. One specimen caught in mouse trap. They are very abundant but are less often seen about the rim area because of the predominance of the golden mantled squirrels. I did notice that in the early morning and evening hours the chipmunks [illegible] are most active and the ground squirrels less noticeable. Few people recognize the differences in these two forms.
