Smiley 1936 Neotoma lepida 2½ mi. E Flanigan, 4250 ft., Washoe Co., Nev. July 6 8 specimens taken on SE-facing slope in area where there were several rock outcrops 6 feet high x 10 feet long. Angular boulders had cracked off these outcrops and lay on the slope below. Where two or more lay together wood rat sign was in evidence. Color of rock reddish; ground semi-paved with angular, schistose bits of it averaging size of one's hand. Rock outcrops insufficiently fractured to harbor wood rats. Grass and Artemesia not abundant between rocks July 7 40°23' N, 1ami. E Calif. Line, 4000 ft., Washoe Co., Nev. One caught at base of igneous rock outcrop in cave-like crevice. Reddish igneous rock covered with hot-spring deposit of calcareous material. Gravel area near cave with Artemesia. One outcrop 40 feet in height was, favorably to woodrats, creviced on all sides. But: no wood rat sign found on SW of outcrop- perhaps due to prevailing wind driving against that face of the rock. July 17 12 mi. Gock, 5300 ft., ½ mi. E Calif. Line Washoe Co., Nev. Area flat; junipers approx. 40 feet apart; little Artemesia. ½ of ground surface of small, jutting angular rocks; little grass. Two specimens taken under junipers.
