Creator Transcript
  • Synaptomys. Monashee Pass, B.C. [British Columbia] June 26, 1937 Took a single male Synaptomys in microtus runways near camp. This individual was sexually mature, the testes scrotal. Revelstoke Mt. [Mountain] 6000'. July 4, 1937. Last night took 3 [male symbol] synaptomys in a colony located in the matted grass of a boggy alpine meadow. There were 36 traps set in this colony, but many were sprung by a heavy rain storm. All 3 were adults - 2 had the testes scrotal (scrotal skin white - not black) the third had them internal. A careful examination of cuttings showed the food to be grass (of which the succulent basal parts are eaten) kalmia leaves + leaves of the large leafed saxifrage. Summer feces are apparently scattered hither + thither along the runways, + not dung piles as is the case in the winter.
