Memorandum gives the summary of the 1966 plague survey results in Lassen National Park. Plague surveys were conducted in Lassen Volcanic National Park during the period of July 26 to September 6, 1966, following the discovery of a plague-infected chipmunk. Included in this report are mammal collection and ectoparasite identification records showing the location and subjects trapped and a summary of the survey. Results give trapline location, days and catch rate. Specimens were then tested for flea abundance and positive plague identification.
