Hoffmeister 1942 Catellus beecheyi May 17 Walker Cr., 5200 ft., 4 mi. SW Chabela, Inyo Co., Calif. Shot a lactating ♀ in a rock-lined wash. Four young squirrels, about Tamias townsendii size, first appeared on an observation rock. In about 10 minutes the ♀ shot appeared. Apparently the 4 yg. were apart of the litter of this ♀. May 19 Shot a lactating ♀ in Walker Creek Canyon. The ♀ had no embryos, so probably had a litter of young. There are numerous young C. beecheyi in all the suitable rocky situations along the creek (apparently provided they have a small trickle of water). They are not at the water's edge, but in boulders back a considerable distance from the creeks. Russell caught 1 specimen at the junction of Falls or Walker creeks, but here too, the animal bank was caught along the [illegible] of the second rise above the creek. My specimen (no. 573) was saved as a skull only because the pelage was in very poor condition, being very badly worn. May 30 5 mi. W + 1/4 mi S Independence, 6000 ft., Inyo Co., Calif. Abundant around this Forest Service Camp in suitable areas. The one caught (no. 677) came across a small creek (crossing on rocks partly submerged), and got into our grub. June 5 1/2 mi. N + 4 mi. W Independence, 5200 ft., Inyo Co., Calif. Saw and heard numerous C. beecheyi in the rocky slopes rising up from S. fork Oak Creek. These flats, and slopes leading up to them are grown with Artemisia.
