Itinerary
6mi. W 3 1/4 mi. S Lone Pine, 6300 ft., Inyo Co. Calif.
boylii and P. maniculatus, and 1 Stelaperus. 25 traps
set along the south rim of Tuttle Creek at 6mi. W
and 3 1/4 mi. S Lone Pine, 6300 ft., caught 3 Perognathus
longimembris, 1 Reithrodonmys, and 2 Peromyscus
maniculatus. The Perognathus longimembris were caught
and is rather coarse sand supporting predominantly Artemisia,
Ephedra viridis.
May 28 Set 40 traps in the Artemisia - Ephedra association, and
caught 3 Perognathus longimembris, 1 Reithrodonmys
megalotis, and Peromyscus maniculatus.
Up a slope immediately to the south of camp, set 25
traps. Caught 4 Peromysca crinitus, 1 Peromyscus truei,
1 P. maniculatus, and 1 P. boylii (if no. 648 is of this
species). In about a 150 ft. rise, and in a trap line
about 350 feet long, 4 species of Peromyscus were caught.
The P. crinitus were caught
among the rocks, not only at
the top, but along the sides. The
P. truei was taken from beneath
a pinton. The P. boylii was
taken in the rocks where there
was considerable Artemisia as was
the P. maniculatus.
