There was a hole torn into its side just anterior to where the trap wire clutched it. The other mammals caught were: 4 Peromyscus crinitus 2 Neotoma lepida Last night I shot & adult ♀ Myotis. I left the traps in the same locality because I did not have time to set them elsewhere. This morning I had: 2 Peromyscus crinitus 1 Ad.♀; 1 Imm.♂ 1 Peromyscus maniculatus Ad. ♀ 2 Neotoma lepida 1 Ad ♂; 1 Imm.♂ It is interesting to note that the Peromyscus maniculatus is the first one caught on the north side of the canyon.
