(9) Mt. Oriz. Tim Line,
Oryzomys:- Rather com along with arvicolas.
Neotoma:- Not com. owing to lack of cliffs. one was trapped by Mr N. in the cave in which we camped.
Lepus:- We saw signs of a small rabbit near & above timber line but not in such great quantities as near & above timber line on Mt. Ixtaccihuatl. There is plenty of cover for them here about the edges of lava beds but their signs were not numerous. Possibly a small specimen procured at a rancho lower down (alt about 9500 ft.) was the same as this one here.
