[[underline]] Gold Hill [[/underline]]

[[underline]] Neotoma fallax [[/underline]], common from 7500 feet down in Transition zone. Mr. Gale says he has never found them above.
[[underline]] Neotoma (Teonoma) arolestes [[/underline]] One was caught in rocks at 7400 feet & Mr. Gale says they are common above.
[[underline]] Peromyscus [[space]] [[/underline]] (big eared) - 2 caught in rocks at 7300 feet. 
[[underline]] Peromyscus leucopus [[/underline]] - Two caught in rocky places at 7300 feet.
[[underline]] Eutamias quadrivittatus [/underline]] Common & 1 saved. Seen from 7300 to 8000 feet. 
[[underline]] Eutamias [[space]] [[/underline]] - small one, common at 7300 feet. 2 saved.
[[underline]] Calospermophilus lateralis [[/underline]] - One caught in trap at 7300 feet. It was in gray coat, but had some skin disease & was scarcely at all fat, which may account for its being out so late in the season.

Symphorocarpos, Spirea, Physocarpus, Salix (brown twigs), Cercocarpus parvifolius, Ribes cereum?, Arctostaphylos uva-ursa, Berberis ripens, Ceonothus fendleri, Rose (several species)

The two zones face each other on the south & north sides of the gulch & are mixed on top of ridge & in bottom of gulch. 

A trace of Upper Sonoran zone comes in on hot slopes in the canyon below Mr. Gale's place at about 7300 feet where a few junipers occur and a few bushes of Ribes aureum & Betula occidentala.  It is not impossible that Neotoma fallax & the big eared Peromyscus belong in this zone & merely crowd a little above its extreme edge, but I think they are Transition. 

Went down in gulch to see Mr. Denis Gale & staid all night with him, setting all my traps below his place in the gulch.  Mr. Gale is an interesting old man 75 years old & rather feeble, with hair & beard as white as snow, but still full of interest in Natural history.
