Journal Hynes, M.S. 1975 12.7 mi. N. Nixon, Washoe Co. Nevada. 3 September 0800 Ken Ramsey and J (and dog "Baron") left Pleasant Hill, California - drove via Sacramento, Truckee and Reno to Pyramid Lake, Nevada. When day, calm. Drove on the west shore of Pyramid Lake through Sutcliffe to a point 13.6 mi. N. Sutcliffe. We could find no town of Pyramid, only a ranch on a small stream about 11 mi. N. Sutcliffe. We set 60 traps in the sandy soil on a small plain to the right (E) of the road. This area had originally been under water; the present shoreline was approximately 0.5 mi. away. (Habitat to be described later). The ground was covered with millions of tiny sea shells, none larger than approximately 6 mm. We noted several Zebra-tailed lizards and one specimen of Cnemidophorus. We drove south on the same road past the ranch to a point 9.4 mi. N. Sutcliffe where we stopped and set 40 traps again to the east of the road. This area was also once under water and was now loose sand. This and the above locality were (and are) being grazed by cattle. An Indian in an official trucka stopped to see if we were in trouble. We asked if he knew of a town called Pyramid. He didn't. We continued south
