Perognathus apache Merriam. Apache Pocket Mouse. 
Reported at Espanola, San Pedro, and Santa Fe, by Osgood.* 
Tfugi. 
Thomomys aureus pervagus Merriam. Roaming Pocket Gopher. 
The type locality is Espafiola.* 
Gopher mounds are abundant at El Rito de los Frijoles, but we 
obtaimed no specimens of the gopher for identification. They may 
be this species, which was described from a locality not far away. 
The Indians accurately described the habits of the animal in digging 
its holes, pushing the earth out to form a mound, and then covering 
the entrance with earth by working from within.

Microtus mordax Merriam. Cantankerous Vole, Field Mouse.

A good line of traps repeatedly set in all sorts of places at El Rito 
de los Frijoles failed to catch any voles or indeed any of the mam- 
mals smaller than chipmunks except deer-mice.

Both whites and Indians described a bluish-gray, round-tailed rat 
which gathers pinon nuts for winter food at El Rito de los Frijoles, 
and we saw one nest which seemed to be that of a wood rat. No 
specimens were obtained for identification. San Ildefonso Indians
