Itinerary
May 21 Walker Cr., 4 mi. SW Olancha, 5200 ft, Inyo Co., Calif.
association of Artemisia and Chrysothamnus. Caught 9 Peromyscus maniculatus and 1 P. boylii (and the tip of the tail of a Perognathus). Pitelka had caught 2 Perognathus and 2 Dipodomys in the same association and vicinity the day before. When I ran my trap line at 6:45/5:45 standard time), 4 of the P. maniculatus were still alive, although squarely caught across the back. The sun had been up for fully a 1/2 hour. 35 traps left set from the day before along the west side of Walker Creek caught 2 Perognathus and 3 Peromyscus boylii; 3 Schuyler traps caught Nestoma fuscipes.
Broke camp at about 11 a.m.
