SAY'S SPERMOPHILE. 

 (Callospermophilus lateralis.) 



WESTERN CHIPMUNK. 



(Eutamias quadrivittatus.) 



THE ANTELOPE SQUIRREL* is readily recognized by the 

 broad and conspicuous band of white, which extends along 

 the middle of the side, and its pale-buff color. It has the 

 pale colors of a desert animal. It is found in the desert re- 

 gions of the Southwest from western Texas to southern Cal- 

 ifornia, and northward to Nevada and Utah. 



It is larger than the Eastern species, and is strikingly dif- 

 ferent in appearance from all other chipmunks.
