Hoffmeist 1942 Itinerary June 6 (cont.) 3 mi. S & 8 mi. W Big Pine, Inyo Co., Calif. to fly in pairs (two together). Saw a chickaree near camp. Heard a marmot on the north facing slope opposite camp. June 7 Set 13 traps along a side branch of Big Pine Creek. Caught 3 Microtus, at least 1 of which I took to be an M. longicaudus, and 4 Peromyscus maniculatus. It is interesting that no Peromyscus boylii have been caught here whereas at Independence Creek (= Little Pine Creek), P. boylii was more abundant than P. maniculatus. At this elevation there are no Otillus beecheyi or Neotoma fasciipes houses. 5 traps set on the Artemisia grown slope caught 1 Perognathus parvus and 1 P. maniculatus. I hunted until 11 a.m. in the talus slide at the base of the hills south of Big Pine Creek. The most extensive part of the slide is immediately behind Glacier Lodge, and this limited shooting freedom. During the hunt, I saw 4 marmots and 4 Ochotona, and heard a 5th Ochotona. Better shots afforded themselves of conies immediately behind the lodge, but I deemed it advisable not to do so here. The one cony collected was “well-shot” when it was discovered at the very base of the talus slope, where it levels off toward the creek. It was living among rocks not 40 feet about the level of the creek and back about 150 feet from the creek. There were thickets of Rubus
