Neotoma lepida
2 mi. W Smith Creek Cave, 6,300 ft., T17 N, T7Monah,
White Pine Co., Nevada
June 12. Last night I caught 6 Neotoma lepida
in the same trapline as on June 11.
They consisted of 1 Adult ♂; 3 Imm ♂; 2
Imm ♀. It was interesting to find that
a greater % of Neotoma than Peromyscus
was caught on the second night while
Peromyscos were the dominating factor
on the 1st night.
June 13 Caught 2 Neotoma lepida on same trapline
as June 12.
June 14 Also 2 Neotoma lepida in same trapline!
Due to the changing of camps etc. I have
been unable to spend as much time as
usual on this trapline. The rats consisted
of one adult ♂ and one imm ♂.
June 15 In a trapline of 40 traps set on
the flat land beside the creek about
1 mile west of camp I caught 1 adult ♀
and 1 Imm. ♀. These rats do not seem
to be as common here as on the side
hills and on the flatland closer to
Smith Creek Cave.
June 16 In 7 rat traps set up a gulch ½ mi.
w Smith Creek Cave, White Pine Co., Nev.
I caught one Imm. Neotoma lepida. There
was much evidence of Neotoma in the
