Abstract
The Santa Fe Field Station was established in July 1951 by the Communicable Disease Center to study the biological relationships of mammals and their ectoparasites to the spread and perpetuation of sylvatic plague. A general description to give an integrated view of the area, methods of study, species of mammals investigated, and most frequently collected species of fleas has been prepared by Holdenried and Morlan (1956). The present report gives detailed observations on the natural history of a single rodent species. The information is submitted in the hope that some of the facts may contribute to eventual understanding of the complex factors involved in dissemination of rodent-borne diseases.
