1937 Peromyscus crinitus
2 mi. W Smith Creek Cave, 6,300 ft.
Mt. Moriah, White Pine Co., Nevada..
Junell, for the mice to run on; scattered juniper,
sege, rose, etc.; many woodrat droppings.
It was interesting that Fitch and Johnson
cought no Peromyscus crinitus on the
south side of the canyon although they
both had long traplines set out
Junel2, In the same trapline I caught four.
This time they were all Immatures-
2 & and 2♀. Two of these were caught
in the same net trap. Could it be that
the adults being killed off the immatures
now have to hunt for themselves or is it
that it was just chance that I should catch
only adults the first night and only young
the next.
Junel3, Four caught in same trapline.
June 14, Two caught in same trapline—1 Fd.♀ and
1 Imm.♂.
June 16, Out of seven rat traps set ½ mi. W Smith
Creek Cave I had 3; one adult and
two immatures. Habitat: large boulders,
south side of canyon, Pinos, Junipers,
course soil.
June 17, Out of 33 mouse traps set NE of
camp on the steep North side of the
canyon I had two. 1 adult♀, 1adult ♂.
