Mammals of the Oregon Caves area, Josephine County

"Apparently little work has been done on the mammalian life of the Siskiyou Mountains. Anderson and Grinnell (1903), Grinnell (1916), Kellogg (1916), and Mailliard (1921, 1923a, 1923b) have worked with both mammals and birds in the California Siskiyous, but the Oregon Siskiyous have remained untouched except for sporadic collecting. This is somewhat surprising, since it is in the Siskiyous that many boreal and austral forms, as well as animals from the coast ranges and the Cascade-Sierra Nevadas, are found together. This report is the condensed result of field work in the vicinity of the Oregon Caves National Monument, a more complete discussion having been presented in a master's thesis at Oregon State College. The encouragement and advice of Dr. Kenneth L. Gordon are gratefully acknowledged. The assistance of Mr. Richard Rowley, a resident of the area since 1907, was of great value in this study, and Mr. Florenz Breitmayer, Jr., an employee of the Oregon Caves Company, also contributed useful information."
