1937 Peromyscus crinitus
near Smith Creek Cave, 6,300 ft., Mt. Moriah,
White Pine Co., Nevada
June 4, Out of 100 traps set on the bottom land
of Smith Creek canyon I caught only one
P. crinitus. This was an adult ♀. It is interesting
to compare this with the seven Peromyscus
maniculatus
June 7, Out of 30 mouse traps set on the sidehill west
of camp I caught 1 adult ♂ Peromyscus
crinitus while out of 12 traps set in
the flat directly below this spot I caught
one Imm. ♀.
June 9, Out of 42 traps in the same type of
habitat as that of June 7 only SE of camp
on the side hill I caught 2 P. crinitus:
1 Adult ♀ and 1 Imm ♂. In this habitat
the Peromyscus maniculatus and crinitus
seem to be found in about equal abundance.
The habitat is characterized by scattered
boulders, medium sized jagged rocks, Artemisia,
juniper and bunch grass.
June 11, 2 mi. W Smith Creek Cave, 6,300 ft., Mt. Moriah,
White Pine Co., Nevada
Out of 45 traps set in among the boulders and
ledges north of camp I caught 5 adults.
The habitat was: Steep hillside; large
flake-like boulders with frequent outcropping
showing the strata and offering ledges
