At White Salmon (at about a 1/2 mile north of the highway), we saw at least 6 Citellus beecheyi within a quarter of a mile. July 10 Ice Caves, ft., 5 mi. Suler, in Skamania Co., Wash. Last night, set out 38 traps in an area of Pinus ponderosa, Pseudotsuga taxifolia, Larix occidentalis, Abies concolor, and some Chamaecyparis, and Acer circinatum. We are apparently in about the middle of the Transitional Zone here. Caught 4 Peromyscus maniculatus (2♂, 2♀) of which 2 were very young. All the specimens were badly eaten by large wood ants. Other species taken by the party are: Zapus, Sorex (obscurus?), and Eutamias townsendii.
