Hooper, 1936 S base Granite Peak, East Range, Pershing Co., Nev. Aug. 3. Creek flows at the bottom of this canyon; mint, columbine and other perennials occur under the dense willow and buffalo brush clumps along the stream. This small meadow-type of habitat looked to be suitable for Zapus & Microtus mule. Saw deer tracks in the marshy ground here. Woodhouse jay, gray [illegible] titmouse were noted. Set 10 mouse traps along the creek and 40 mouse and 3 rat traps on an east-facing slope in rocks & beneath junipers & pines. Shot 1 Entamius minimus and 2 Uta's yesterday - when setting traps. Caught this morning: Along creek: 2 Peromyscus maniculatus, 3 Reithrodonotmops mepalotis; on hill: 3 Peromyscus maniculatus, 1 Reithro- donotmys megaletis, 1 Perognathus parvus 3 Nestoma epida. All but about 10 of the traps were sprung - probably by wood rats, since sign was abundant. They nested & lived in rock piles for the most part. Shot 2 more Uta and a Sceloporus. Hunted for
