D.J. Hoffmeister 1939 Itinerary June 30 Crooked R., 3400 ft, at mouth of Bear Cr., Crook Co., Oregon the World War, but another highway, which is about a tenth of a mile west of his place, runs from Prineville, and is the old mail route, and believes it has been in use many years, as early as 1895. It also said the town of Post has had a post office as long as he can remember (there- fore, perhaps, Preble in 1897 was aware of the fact that this was a possible locality too if he got specimens from near there). I helped Johnson set some gopher settings and set 9 snap traps. Got 1 Microtus montanus ? and 1 Peromyscus maniculatus. Just after we left the Gibson ranch, I shot 2 Citellus beldingi oregonus (??) and saw 2 others. Along the highway towards the ranch, or in the opposite direction, saw no ground squirrel, although quite a few Eutamias, except for these 4 in the region of cultivated land. Last night tried to shoot some bats but had no success. They were relatively numerous, but Loughnat was the only one who was successful in shooting one. This morning I found an Eptesicus lying on the ground along Bear Creek (apparently shot and not found last night).
