The young seem to be born, in the mountains at least, 
in June, probably earlier at lower altitudes. I have no 
special information as to their number. 
Neotoma arizonae (of Arizona). Arizona Wood-Rat 
Neotoma arizoncB Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., viii., p. no 
(1893). 
Type locality. — Keam Canon, Apache County, Arizona. 
Measurements. — Total length, 14.3 ; tail vert., 5.85 ; hind foot, 1.7. 
Description. — (From a specimen taken at Cortez, Montezuma 
County, April 4th) : Above bright ochraceous buff, lined with black ; 
upper part of tail somewhat ochraceous at base, rest gray. Feet and 
all under parts white . Compared w4th orolestes from Grand Junction 
it is a more rufous colored animal, and the head is buffy instead of 
gray. 
Distribution. — The Arizona Wood-rat has been reported from 
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. In Colorado it is re- 
corded only from the southwestern part of the State, from Monte- 
zuma and Montrose counties, and no doubt will be found in the 
two intervening counties, Dolores and San Miguel. The exact 
localities were Cortez and Ashbaugh's Ranch, in Montezuma 
County, and Coventry and Bedrock in Montrose County. Coventry 
is the highest at which it has been taken, 6,800 feet, and it seems 
to be rare there, not nearly as common as A^. fallax. 
Habits. — The general habits are much as in other species. 
It has been found exclusively among rocks in Colorado 
thus far. 
It breeds in April, and bears from four to six young.
