1939.
Perognathus parvus
Aug. 10. Kingston Canyon, 7000 ft., Lander Co., Nevada.
In a stream about three feet wide a
small rock stuck out of the water about
four inches. On this rock I set one mouse
trap and looking for the trap in the early
morning I found it had washed down
stream 4 or 8 feet and in it (no.329)
was the Perognathus. Apparently, in
crossing the stream the rock was used
to lessen the distance the animal would
have to jump without getting wet. Dense
vegetation lined both sides of the stream
at this point. Mostly willows and birch trees.
