Tues. 5, & Wed. Evening, 1230 ft., Depots Amadi, Pem
[Lake Quawcola, 12 mi. forward from Colto to Clnr]
(coral) that Indians had built. 10 snap traps
around 1 wall, 15 around another. Upstream
was another canyon. This one is narrowest of
the three I know. There is only a trickle
but supports dense ichu and mossy grass.
I set 16 traps up this canyon in the grass
+ at rocks and holes. About 100 yds. above
the stream, I found a toad jumping through the
puna grass. It is its body is about 2 inches long
and it is a light green color with darker green
stripes. It was moist when I picked it up. I
suspect this is the same frog species that has been
making the croak-cloak-clock-clock noises we hear
near the stream + lake side. Mr. Koford set 30
snap traps up the road along rock walls both
to the left + right of the road. Ray set a box
of small Sherman's over by the rock walls near
by and near the road.
I checked my traps. At the first rock wall, where the
ichu was very thick and I had set 10 traps, I
captured 5 Akodon. At the 2nd large rock wall
where vegetation was sparser + I had 15 traps out, I
captured an Audinmuss (MAL 250), 2 Phyllotis
pictus, and an Akodon. These were caught
at level between the rocks. Along the stream
where I had 17 traps set I captured a
Calomys scirillus (?) (MAL 251) in a large hole
