cooper, 1935
2 mi. E. Bishop, Inyo Co., Calif.
May 21,
ly, 2 or 2 1/2 in. in diameter. About one
half of the traps were set in this
habitat and the other fifteen placed
in the adjoining Bishop Cr. bottom-
lands. Here a few grassy areas could
be found on the slightly higher ground
bordered by the stream channels proper,
which were, for the most part, overgrown
with cat-tails (Typha). Very little
water at any season flows down
this part of the creek; all but this
slight seepage is diverted, also at a
point approximately 1 mile west, into
the Bishop canal, which, in turn
empties into the Owens River near
Big Pine. Microtus signs could be
found in the grassy areas.
The traps this morning yielded the
following mammals (+ 1 Neothodontomys,
which was discarded):
0783 Dipodomys m. leucopus 314 - 191 - 46 testes large
0784 " " 278 - 172 - 43
0785 " " 287 - 170 - 43 testes large
0786 " " 282 - 170 - 44
0787 " m. meriami 225 - 131 - 37 "
0788 " " 215 - 126 - 38 "
0789 Neothodontomys m. megalotis 135 - 66 - 18 "
