Heteromyids are evidently absent from the upper parts of the chaparral
association, but cricetid rodents are common there beneath heavy clumps
of lilac and in the talus beneath oaks and bay trees. The following list
gives the mammals taken in the course of about 200 trap nights in the
granite talus one half mile northwest of the mouth of Icehouse Canyon,
at 5200 feet elevation.
