Peromyscus truei
June 12 La Laguna 6200 ft, Sierra de la Laguna, Baxi Calil.
Two caught last night in Museum special traps baited with walnut. Traps were set in canyon where the stream exits the flat, and set among willow,
grass and large granite boulders. North of the
specimens (# 350, 351) had embryos. These were caught
in the same habitat as two Peromyscus eremicus.
All traps were set within 5 feet of running water.
Peromyscus truei have also been caught
near other springs and streams about La Laguna
by others of this group.
June 13 Lane
Tratini. Two males caught in same trap line as
above last night. One was so badly eaten
by ants it had to be abandoned. Both were caught
within 4 feet of the running water under dense
willows and near green grass. No Peromyscus
eremicus caught in trap line last night.
