Hoffmeister 1942 Itinerary May 15 Lone Pine Cr., 8200 ft, 9 1/2 mi. W + 1 1/4 mi. S Lone Pine, Inyo Co, Calif. was caught beside a large (1ft diameter) rock in the middle of a grassy patch along Lone Pine Creek. At 6mi. W + 1 mi. S Lone Pine, 45 traps were placed along an unnamed creek, and up the canyon walls of this creek. It was hoped that a Sorex tenellus might be caught here. The 45 traps caught 2 Peromyscus maniculatus, 2 P. erimitus, 3 P. boylii, and 1 P. truei. The 4 species of Peromyscus were caught in the short distance from the bottom of the canyon of this creek to the top (piñon, Artemisia flat). This was a distance of about 40+ yards, (see map to left.) at about a 40° rise. Along the creek, where there were a very few scattered piñons, P. boylii and P. maniculatus were caught. Among the rocks, up the canyon wall, P. erimitus was caught. At the top, where the piñons were in slightly greater number, and there were a few rocks beneath them, a P. truei was caught. Hunted the slopes for California Jays. Saw 1 and heard another. They were along the fringe of the piñons. Saw several Citellus beecheyi and Eutamias. Collected a Bush-tit and a Sage Sparrow in the Artemisia - Chrysothamnus flat. May 26 50 traps set along the tributary of Lone Pine Cr., & the creek itself, caught 1 Sorex (no. 631) and 2 Peromyscus maniculatus. Caught a Citellus lateralis in 1 of 3 Schuyler traps. Spent the morning looking for gopher sets at 6mi. W + 1 mi. S Lone Pine, and setting mouse traps there. In the early afternoon broke camp along Lone Pine Creek and moved to a new locality along Tuttle Creek.
