Hoffmeister 1942 Itinerary June 8 (cont.) 3 mi. S + 8 mi. W Big Pine, Inyo Co., Calif. 2 Eutamias and 3 Citellus lateralis. I shot a chickaree in camp. It was a ♂ with the testes descended and enlarged. Russell and Pitelka hunted birds, during the morning, at a place designated 1½ mi. SW Big Pine, 4500 feet. No houses of Nestoma fascipes were noted by either, although the description of the habitat seemed suitable for wood rats (N. fascipes) if they were this far north on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. They also saw no Citellus beecheyi. However, Mr. Wendenhall of Big Pine reported (see notes of June 5) Citellus beecheyi in Big Pine. June 9 Set 15 mouse traps along a marshy area parallel Big Pine Creek, and about 15 to 25 feet from the Creek. Caught 1 Sorex (obscurus ?) and 1 Microtus, and 3 Peromyscus maniculatus. This marshy area consists of grass, surface run-off water, and water birch. 2 mole traps that I helped Russell set in the meadow south of Big Pine Creek caught nothing. The 7 Schuyler traps left out caught 2 Citellus lateralis and by evening had caught 2 more C. lateralis. Saw 3 deer today, 2 about 6:30 a.m. and 1 at 7:30 p.m. They were all in the meadows on the south side of the Creek. When I was crossing Big Pine Creek at about 7:15 p.m., I thought I saw a Sorex palustris swim off rapidly with the current. It may have been
