The Hopi [ndians are apparently unacquainted with it. as they 

 gave it the same name which they apply to the chickaree; and the 

 Ilualapai Indians did not contradistinguish it from the Abort 

 squirrel. 



With our present restricted knowledge of this species it is impossi- 

 ble to give its habitat with accuracy. It appears to be known only 

 from New Mexico and Arizona. 



The food of the Arizona graj squirrel comprises seeds of pine 

 cones, acorns, walnuts, berries, and green vegetation. 



Record umi measurements of 15 specimens of Sciurus arizonensis.
