Perognathus parvus
July 19 Glade Cr., 250 ft, 1/2 mi. N Columbia R., Benton Co., Wash.
Set traps along this swampy creek
last night, and of these 4 or 5 were set
along the sandy banks. These traps caught
2 Perognathus, and by other sign, I would
say they are extremely abundant in this
canyon.
July 20 2 1/2 mi. S.W. Dorrigon, 300 ft., Morrow Co., Oregon
Caught 10 Perognathus last night in
the plains country on the south side of the
Columbia river here. There is abundant
sign of Perognathus in this country but
those caught were again chiefly
juveniles or young adults. Almost all
the ones caught were in traps set in the
open country between the Purskia bushes,
and few were caught beneath any
shrubbery.
July 22 2 mi. SSE and 4 mi. E Burbank, Walla Walla Co., Wash.
Caught a large number of these together
with Dipodomys ordii in traps set in the
sandy areas south of the Snake R., but
north of the Columbia.
July 24 Touchet R., 850 ft., 1 mi. W Lamar, Walla Walla Co., Wash.
Caught this species on the higher
table land which extends south of the
Snake River here. The specimens were
eaten by ants before gotten out of the traps.
