Over 1932 Waltham Creek, 4 1/2 mi. se. Priest Valley , 1850 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. Dec. 27, 1932 number of seemingly used entrances in one group was 6, altho the number of old broken down entrance in such a group would greatly add to the number. Solitary holes, however, were commoner. Most of the entrances had either a small pile of earth outside or nothing. In no case was there ever more earth than would be needed to cover the palm of one's hand. The diameters of 13 ap- parently used holes are as follows in mm.: 43-45-47-44-45-47-49-49-51-57-62-49-50. The hole were mostly circular altho some were [illegible] squareish. Most of them went into the earth at an angle of from 25° to 45° to the surface. Signs of Thomomys bottae were numerous here- abouts. Many small holes also present were probably occupied by Peromyscus truei and P. maniculatus . At 11 a.m. in the area in which I was studying Kangaroo Rats a cottontail jumped up from a form in a clump of Bromus rubens and Allium at the base of a small dead tree. It was about 25 feet away when it hopped up and ran away 10 feet in some tall glass and remained perfectly genet at attention. In the sunlight and dry grass out in the open it seemed very gray. Shot the animal. There was no fresh of any sort for 50 yards in
