Hoffmeister 1939 Mustela cicognanii July 29 Stagerhile Spg, 5150 ft., Columbia Co., Washington Last evening, I set 32 traps in a marshy meadow about a half mile east of our campsite (see sketch in itinerary of same date). This small meadow is most likely used by an elk as there was a small pool of water, a bedded down spot, and fescs all too large for deer. The meadow was on a gentle slope and most of the surface of the ground had a small amount of water running towards the creek. The grass growth was between 12 and 13 and along a log (1" in diameter), inches deep. Along the upper edge of this meadow, I caught one specimen of this species in a "museum special" mouse trap that was baited with a mixture of "Quaker" oats and peanut butter mixed together. The specimen was caught across the mid-region with its nose near the treable, apparently attracted by the bait. On examination of the region around the traps seemed to indicate the specimen was killed instantly as there was no evident thrashing around.
