Hoffmeister 1942 Citellus beldingi June 22 9mi W Benton, 8300 ft, Mono Co., Calif. In a meadow along the left fork of the wet fork of Black Canyon, grown with short grass with clumps of birch and willow, there are large numbers of this species. Young of the year are abroad and are about the size of a Eutamias quadrivittatus. The young are so fearless that they run but a short distance down the hole and could be caught by hand. When an adult was shot at the hole, she fell so as to plug the entrance-way. Several young, belonging to this ?, took considerable time before seeking refuge in other, nearby, burrows. June 23 One C. beldingi was caught in a gopher trap set in an old Thomomys talpoides runway. The runway had been opened and the trap pushed well-back in the runway. I notice many squirrels chasing one another. If this is preliminary to copulation, which it well might be, it would indicate that at least 2 litters are raised per summer.
