After lunch I went out & killed 2 Tamias pictus & Henry killed 3. I set 32 traps but did not find good signs. no signs of Tamias lateralis or Neotoma. Found a Dipodops den.
Made up 4 skins & measured the Chipmunks in evening.
It is strange to find T. lateralis here with not even a cedar tree in sight. We are probably about north of Palisade I should think about 5 miles. Can see the valley west of us, 6 or 8 miles ahead.
From what I have seen of the country I think Palisade would be a good point on the C. P. for collecting.
Spermophiles & Tamias lateralis ought to be found there, also Nelomas -
Elko would be another good point for Spermophiles & Perognathes & other things. I do not get many of the species in going over the ground so fast.
A cold morning, warm day -
