Mus musculus
2 1/2 mi. W Hazen, Truckee Canal, Lyon Co., Nevada.
Nov. 12. In the weeds along the
Truckee canal many runs
may be seen & in these
runs the House mouse
was caught. The grass
is nice & green on southern
exposure and it has grown
up 4 to 6 inches because
the exposure & the water
help to keep the grass
from freezing in these
cold nights. On two
occasions these mice
were caught in traps
that were set 6 to 10
inches from where
Reithrodontomys were
caught and apparently
these 2 species of mice
were living in the
same habitat and both
thriving nicely.
