HARRINGTON] ETHNOZOOLOGY OF THE TEWA INDIANS 19 



Perognaihus flavescens Merriam. Plains Pocket Mouse. 

 Reported at Santa Fe by Osgood. 1 



Perognaihus flavus Baird. Baird s Pocket Mouse. 

 Reported at Taos by Osgood. 2 



Perognaihus apache Merriam. Apache Pocket Mouse. 

 Reported at Espanola, San Pedro, and Santa Fe, by Osgood. 3 



Tfugi. 



Thoniomys aureus pervagus Merriam. Roaming Pocket Gopher. 

 The type locality is Espaiiola. 4 



Gopher mounds are abundant at El Rito de los Frijoles, but we 

 obtained 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. 



Reported at Chama by Bailey. 5 



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. 



Fiber zibeihicus osoyoosensis Lord. Muskrat. 



Reported at Rinconada (north of Santa Fe), by Hollister, 6 who 

 also records F. z. pallidus Mearns at Albuquerque. 



Pini i ? 



Neotoma albigula Hartley. White-throated Wood Rat. 

 Reported at Abiquiu, Chama Canyon, Espanola, San Pedro, Santa 

 Clara Canyon, Rinconado, etc., by Goldman. 7 



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
