The Hopi Indians are apparently unacquainted with it, as they 

 gave it the same name which they apply to the chickaree; and the 

 Hualapai Indians did not contradistinguish it from the Abert 

 squirrel. 



With our present restricted knowledge of this species it is impossi- 

 ble to give its habitat with accuracy. It appears to be known only 

 from New Mexico and Arizona. 



The food of the Arizona gray squirrel comprises seeds of pine 

 cones, acorns, walnuts, berries, and green vegetation.
