Pine Peaks, Vol., Conchaigua, Dept, LaUnion
Feb, 26, 1926 - March-7, 1926
Sigmodon - Palon de Zacate
This species was found
in the Sonoran grass land in this
locality. Nos. 11195 and 11198 were
taken in low dense dry grass or
one of the [illegible] points. Trails
that appeared to be well used
were found frequently under
the grass, however at this time
of the year the wind hits
these higher and unprotected
points so [illegible] my traps set in
the suns failed to catch as many
as I had figured they would.
Nos. 11200, 11268, and 11267 were caught
on the south slope of the volcano
where there were many large
lava rock boulders, dense low
brush and [illegible], a small
amount of grass. These three
specimens were caught in traps
set under large lava rocks.
Nos. 11211 and 11249 were trapped in
an old grass hut at the edge of
the tall pine grove. There was
some lumber piled in the hut
and the traps were set under
it. The others were taken in
a small [illegible] brushy grass patch
at the edge of the pines and coffee.
