_Specimens examined._--Total, 2: Head of Prater Canyon, MV
7850/507; Far View Ruins, 75974, ad. [Female], non-pregnant,
November 8, 1957.
One specimen was shot, while it was sitting near a pile of logs, by J.R.
Alcorn by means of a bow and arrow. Although _S. audubonii_ occurs on
the Mesa along with _S. nuttallii_, _S. audubonii_ is the species of the
lowlands throughout the western United States at the latitude of Mesa
Verde National Park. For example, _S. a. warreni_ (69260) but not _S. n.
pinetis_ was obtained along the east side of the Mancos River at 6200
feet elevation (less than 50 yards outside the Park) and the same was
true at the same elevation at a place 4-1/2 mi. N of the Park (No. 69259
from 2 mi. E Cortez).
