July 24 Missoula, Missoula Co., Montana (cont.)
Dr. Templeton) and working on Ptarmigan MS.
July 25 Missoula, Missoula Co., Montana
Day spent much as yesterday. Met Dr.
Clyde Herreid who has done considerable
work on temperature regulation & has
worked with ptarmigan. He will be teaching
at U.of Buffalo in the fall. Dr.Wright
made a deal with me to trap or shoot one
two Hoary Marmots in the Cabinet Mtus
of Montana for $50. He has made several
trips there and has never been able to
secure any or see any though various
novices have reported them. The Cabinets
remain as the big hole in his data on
marmot distribution which he is trying
to ready for publication. Borrowed some
ethyl alcohol of 1/2 dram bottles from Dr.
Hiffmann to use for buccal food contents.
