Excerpt from Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History, 1913, Vol. 32 During the month of August and till September 19, 1912, I was engaged in collecting mammals and birds in northern Malheur County, Oregon, for the American Museum of Natural History. Previous to this time I had collected and taken notes in this district at two different intervals during 1911 May and September. As practically nothing has been published on the fauna of this part of the State, the only references to it being in papers dealing with the whole general region which takes in parts of Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Idaho and California and is known as the great basin, the results of my collecting there may thu's serve to extend a little our knowledge of the western fauna.
