Microdipodops megacephalus
July 6. Marys River, 5800ft., 22 mi. N Deeth, ELKO Co., Nevada.
4 caught on gravelly slopes & E of Marys River.
Claim, with some observational support, that
Microdipodops most likely to be found in
more sandy or fine gravelled patches or areas
of terrain. Yet, they may be caught most
anywhere in a gravelly region covered with
sage brush, perhaps more truly if no sandy
areas or sand dunes are in the vicinity.
July 7. Marys River, 5800ft., 22 mi. N Deeth, ELKO Co., Nevada.
One caught in same locality & type of country as
above. Ectoparasites not noted, no endoparasites.
July 9. Marys River, 5800ft., 22 mi. N Deeth, ELKO Co., Nevada.
Two caught by Mr. Baldwin on dry gravelly
slopes & E of Marys River, + prepared by myself.
July 10. 15 mi. S Contact, 5800ft., ELKO Co., Nevada.
One caught at base of slope covered with sage
brush. Kind for one in trap at bottom of sandy
wash in gulch.
