Lee Arnold 1937 Sylvilagus nuttallii May 26 Warm Spring, 4,000 ft., 9 mi. E Amadee Lassen Cay, Calif. Shot an adult ? as it ran out of Alfalfa patch just south of camp. When frightened it ran over a mouse trap set by the fence — springing it. Cottontails are abundant around here. As with Jack Rabbits their skulls are found beneath almost every fence post where hawks have perched to eat them. June 13, Henry Creek, mi. Sqandy, 5,000 ft., Millard Co., Nevada Shot an immature cottontail in sagebrush behind the farm house. They are common in this district although not as much in evidence as the Jackrabbits.
