6 Specimens: 1 San Tomas, 5 El Alamo, San Pedro Martir Mts.

 much farther south than San Tomas."

 Rosarito, 8 San Quentin. 



This species "was abundant in but few places. At San Quentin 

 it inhabited the Pityba cactus thickets in the same kind of country 

 frequented by Neotoma intermedia. No rabbit signs were seen above 

 the distribution of the black chamiso; that is, not above 6,000 feet."
