  • Callospermophilus lateralis Monashee Pass B.C. [British Columbia] June 24. 1937. During afternoon visited rock slide on westerly side of pass. Just as I fired at a pika I noticed a golden-mantled Ground squirrel run up the rock slide. Shortly afterwards Joyce [Cowan] called our attention to a chipmunk which Ian [McTaggart Cowan] collected + which proved to be a [male symbol] yearling. After considerable hunting + watching again saw the ground squirrel at top of slide behind old fallen tree, could just see its head + as I began climbing towards it, it ran across the rocks to a pile of old logs where I secured it with a full charge of no [number] 10. This animal proved to be an ad [adult] [female symbol]. June 25, 1937 Again visited rock slide where I collected a sub-ad [subadult] [male symbol] still in winter pelage. June 27, 1937 an ad. [adult] [male symbol] taken on rocks below road half mile south of slides. In winter pelage except for trace of moulting in centre of back. Mt. [Mount] Revelstoke B.C. [British Columbia] July 7, 1937. 6000'. Found an adult [male symbol] "cally" [Callospermophilus] in a no [number] 1 trap set under some balsam trees at south side of rock slide on easterly slope. The trap was baited with pack rat + was set for weasel. This animal was about 80% moulted from winter to summer pelage July 16/37. Drove to summit + hiked into Eva Lake. Hunted up to 7400 ft [feet] when [Ian McTaggart] Cowan took three Callies [Callospermophilus] 2/[male symbol's 1/[female symbol].
