Itinerary
June 29 Crooked R., 3400 ft. at mouth of Bear Cr., Crook Co., Oregon
Perognathus fascivus 6 (4♂; 2 with embryos).
June 30 Last night, David Johnson and I drove by way
of Oregon Highway "27" to a locality
designated as "Crooked R., 3100 ft., 4 mi. W mouth
of Bear Cr., Crook Co., Oregon." This locality
is the cliffs on the north side of the river at
this place which is marked near the
highway by a bench mark, BM 3060 ft.
I set 72 traps along the hillside cliffs of
basalt and 10 in junipers near the
river. In these 82 traps I got 4 Peromyscus
manniculatus (3♂; 1♀), 1 Peromyscus truei ♀
(in the junipers south of the road nearer
the stream), and 4 Perognathus (2♂ and
2♀) which were caught on the cliffs
and basaltic slides, were I had expected
to get Peromyscus crinitus.
Also last evening, Johnson & I drove in the
opposite direction up stream to a locality
designated as "Crooked R., 3600 ft., 3 mi. E
mouth of Bear Cr., Crook Co., Oregon." This
spot is the Gibson ranch on highway 27.
I talked with Mr. Gibson, who has
been in this region since he was born,
46 yrs. ago. He said highway 27 (along
the river) has only been in since after
