A single individual observed near Beaver, Utah, but not secured. From 

 information received, it is probably not common at Provo, though seen there. 



A single individual was seen on a small creek at Camp Grant, Ariz., 

 but was so wary that all attempts to capture it proved unavailing. One 

 seen also on the San Pedro River.

A specimen secured at Camp Grant, Ariz. Though this is the only 

 occasion the species has been actually seen, it doubtless occurs throughout 

 Utah and the Southern Region generally; its small size and skulking habits 



combining to render its detection a matter of mere chance.
