Neotoma lepida
July 5 12 mi., S Yerington, 4600 ft., W. Walker R., Lyon Co., Nev.
obtained one specimen on the lower part of the rock and boulder hillside
south of the Walbenriver and the railroad track. There were signs in abundance
and one mouse trap had been sprung
and dragged to a narrow crack
between boulders. It may
have been scraped off by the wood
rat.
In the evening when setting out
more traps I located a nest under
the edges of an enormous rock.
July 6 I found another woodrat in a trap
a little higher up the hillside but
in a similar habitat to those found
yesterday
July 19 E. Walker R., 5050 ft., 2 mi. NW Morgans Ranch, Mineral Co. Nev.
found two specimens. One from one
in a mouse trap in a draw. An
adult in a rat trap placed near
a nest under large boulders. Four
other traps were cleaned I part but
unsprung.
