_Specimens examined_ (4).--NE 1/4 sec. 22, R. 1 E, T. 22 N, 2; 2 mi. N,

We found the grasshopper mouse uncommon in Harding County. All four of
the mice listed as examined were trapped in areas supporting sage and
short grasses, with relatively little ground cover.
Three of our four specimens are immature--two males collected on May 31
(testes 10, 12) and a female taken on June 25. An adult male trapped on
June 18 was in winter pelage, but molt was underway on the crown,
between the ears, and over the upper back and shoulders.
