number of species were caught in marsh riparian habitat and 

 the highest trapping success was in boxelder-ash riparian 

 habitat. The trapline in sagebrush habitat met with very 

 poor trapping success. This may not have been typical of 

 all sagebrush habitat in the study area. 



Three of the ?ziomyi,ca6 captured in riparian habitat were 

 suspected to be white-footed mice (P. £eacopa4 ) . They were 

 counted as P. manicalata6 in the data until identification 

 of the specimens is positively verified.

Amphibians and Reptiles 



Four species of amphibians and six species pf reptiles were 

 seen on the Otter Creek study area (Table 25). The snapping 

 turtle was listed by Flath (1979b) as a species of special 

 interest or concern. Snapping turtles were fairly common along 

 Otter Creek. Only one sagebrush lizard was encountered, in 

 ponderosa pine-juniper habitat with large boulders. The other 

 species were common to abundant in the study area.
