Hoffmeister 1942 Itinerary Sone Pine Cr., 8200 ft., 9½ mi. Wl + 1¼ mi. Stone Pine, Inyo Co., Cal. pine and fir, which is present to the exclusion of piñon in the canyon bottom, encroached upon the piñon in places. In some places, piñon, yellow pine, & fir were all growing together, but the piñon & mountain mahogany was dominant. There was also some Artemisia. On this hillside, there are many large rocks of varying size. At 9000 ft., on the rocky canyon walls, there were numerous Sceloporus present (one collected, no. 549). A chipmunk (no. 609) was also shot on this canyon wall. During the mornings hunting along this canyon wall, I saw a large squirrel, which appeared to be a Citellus beecheri.. May 24 Set 45 traps in the piñon-mountain mahogany association. Caught 7 Peromyscus truei and 5 P. maniculatus. 3 of these traps were placed up in piñons, from 4 to 6 feet above the ground. These caught nothing. In one instance, one trap was placed at the base of a piñon and another along the trunk 4 ft. above ground. The trap at the base of the tree caught a P. truei. One trap placed on a large rock immediately beneath a piñon, 6 feet above the ground, caught a P. truei. The 50 traps along the small tributary into Sone Pine Creek at 8200 feet caught 3 P. maniculatus. May 25 The above 50 traps along the tributary caught 1 Microtus montanus and 1 Sorex. The Microtus was very badly eaten around the head (apparently the work of a screech owl), so that it was impractical to save it. The Sorex (no. 619)
