Wood Rat. 



Reported from Agua Fria, Chama, Costillo Pass, Jemez Mountains, 

 Taos, Taos Mountains, Tierra Amarilla, Tres Piedras, Twining, etc., 

 by Goldman. 2 



This is the animal known through the southern Rocky Mountains 

 as the &quot;mountain rat&quot; and &quot;pack rat,&quot; but is called by Goldman, in 

 his Revision, the &quot;Colorado bushy-tailed wood rat.&quot; 



Peromyscus maniculatus rufinus (Merriam). Tawny Deer- 



mouse. 



Reported at Abiquiu, Chama, Chama River, Espanola, Gallina, 

 Gallinas Mountains, Jemez Mountains, Santa Clara Canyon, Taos, 

 Taos Mountain, Taos Pueblo, Tierra Amarilla, and other localities 

 in northern New Mexico, by Osgood. 3 



We collected one specimen above camp at El Rito delos Frijoles, 

 which was identified by Mr. Warren. 



Peromyscus leucopus tornillo (Mearns). Tornillo Deer-mouse. 

 Reported at Santa Fe and other New Mexico localities, chiefly 

 southwest of Santa Fe, by Osgood. 4 



Peromyscus truei (Shufeldt). True s Deer-mouse. 



Reported at Espanola, Gallinas Mountains, and other localities, 

 by Osgood. 5 



This is the only species of white-footed deer-mouse common at 

 El Rito de los Frijoles Canyon. The identity of our specimens was 

 confirmed by Mr. Warren. The Indians thought the bluish-gray 

 specimens were male and those with more ochraceous color were 

 female, instead of being young and adult of each sex respectively.
