Tfugi. 



Tliomomys aureus pervagus Merriam. Roaming Pocket Gopher. 

 The type locahty is Espanola.* 



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 diggmg 

 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.-^ 



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.

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



Both whites and Indians described a bluish-gray, round-tailed rat 

 which gathers piilon 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
