Itinerary
JuninButtes, 4300 ft., 2½ mi.SW Steamboat mtn., Skamania Co., Wash.
Caught 4 Zapus trinotatus (♂♀), 4 Peromyscus maniculatus (♂', ♀'), 1 Sorex obscurus ♀, 1 Bufo
cinereus, and 1 Junco oreganus. I also collected
1 Rana last evening going down to Cayuse
Meadows, and 1 this morning.
July 12
Set 30 traps in the burnt-over & re-grown semi-
meadow country around the base camp. This
country consists of a sparse forestation of the
previously mentioned conifers at an average
height of about 30 feet together with short and
previously grazed grasses and service berry. I
caught 1 Zapus trinotatus ♀ and 3 Peromyscus
maniculatus (1 ♂, 2 ♀). One of the Peromyscus (the ♂)
was a juvenile. Last night there was no
fog or low clouds & this A.M. was likewise
was clear, which was in contrast to night before
last when mist & clouds formed a thick
blanket night & morning. However, the
vegetation this morning was wet underfoot.
Caught a Hyla in green coloration
in the short-grazed grass.
This afternoon, I set 6 rat traps, baited
with oats, about 100 yds. north of camp. Within
a half hour I had a Eutamias townsendii, and
within 2 hours I had in addition in this
specimen a Eutamias anoensus and 2 Citellus
