Leo Arnold 1937 Meotoma lepida near Smith Creek Cave, 5,600 ft., 7711t. Morish, White Pine Co., Nevada June 9, the catches on the hill sides among the rocks seems to be much higher than on the lowland flat. June 10, 2 mi. E Smith Creek Cave, 5,900 ft, 771t., Morish, White Pine Co., Nevada Out of 42 traps set for the most part along the creek bed of Smith Creek I caught 2 & 3 Meotoma lepida. These two were on the dry sand of the portion of the creek bed which is flooded only during very high water. It seems to me that this species makes use of the piled "drift wood" washed down during high waters, as a likely spot to build nests. June 11, In the large flake-like boulders North of our camp & mi. W Smith Creek Cave, White Pine Co., Nevada (6,300 ft.) I caught 4 Meotoma lepida in a trapline of 45 mixed mouse & rat traps. These rats and Peromyscus crinitus seem to monopolize this habitat. I left the traps in place today in order that I could see if any Eutamias were around during the day.
