piles away from tree rocky areas.
P. forminus was caught in slightly
rocky area at the top of a small rise.
One Onychomys was trapped at the edge
of a dry wash in sandy soil, beneath
a clump of brush.
\nOn the way back to camp 2 cottontails
(multalli) ran across the road into
brush in the bottom of a ravine.
When pursued they ran fast, keep-
ing hidden as much as possible.
Their route did not seem to indic-

ite spot such as a burrow.
\nYoung jackrabbit seen down near
trap line. One Ammospermophilus
was seen sitting on a rock in a side
ravine. The tail was up over the
back and twitched up and down in
a fast manner until it ran up
the hill and disappeared in a
pile of large rocks. Signs indicated
a hole beneath a rock.
