Various locales N. of Wadsworth, Washoe Co., Nevada.
Ternley (#12). We killed one froze several
specimens and transfered all Microdipodops
to jars for live return to lab. We then took
these remaining traps (~100) and drove to
a locality 1.5 mi. N. of Wadsworth where we
set the traps in 1 line E of hwy. Fine
sand, moderately sparse vegetation. We
noted Sylvilagus, Coyote (Canis) and Dipodo-
mys prints in the fine sand.
