W.B. Davis 1935 2 mi. E Lagerman, Gooding Co., Idaho. May 18, burrows. Their rate of recovery is quite rapid, in some cases being about fifteen minutes). In other cases I sat for fully half an hour but none appeared. They like to flatten themselves on the top of rocks and in almost every case they were so placed that they could have full view of the lower country down hill), thus leaving their rears exposed. I took advantage of this and hunted from the top of the hill on which they were sunning themselves). Their food appears to be mostly grasses and soft herbs, but in one case I saw an old female up in an Artemisia eating the tender parts. Those we skinned (five in number, Aldrich got one at another place north west of camp about 1 mile) were quite fat save for one old female that was apparently still nursing young. Two of these, a ♀ and a ♂ were made up as study skins, the other three were dried stretched. I saw and collected one Cottontail in the same habitat as that occupies
