. Distribution of mammals in Colorado. Mammals. 1972 ARMSTRONG: COLORADAN MAMMALS 195 est mountains, and from deserts and semi- deserts to lush subalpine meadows and dense forest. Peromyscus maniculatus is the most abundant of Coloradan mammals and has been the subject of considerable specialized research. Dice (1933, 1935a, 1935b) studied distribution and geographic variation of Colo- radan deer mice in addition to laboratory study of individual variation and genetics. Reproduction of the deer mouse in Colo- rado was discussed by Beidleman (1954) and Reed (1955), and Spencer and Steinhoff (1968) studied geographic variation in litter size. Catlett and Brown (1961) studied popu- lations of P. maniculatus in Gunnison County, and Williams (1955a) and Finney (1962) in- vestigated population densities in Gilpin County. Hematological studies comparing Coloradan deer mice with a population from northern Louisiana were reported by Gough and Kilgore (1964). Brown and Welser (1968) discussed polymorphism in serum al- bumin. Beck (1966) reported on fleas of P. mani- culatus in Mesa Verde National Park, and Kinsella (1968) recorded fleas from the spe- cies on Niwot Ridge, Boulder County. (Du- szynski and Howkins (1968), Stock (1962), Dyer and Olsen (1967), and Dyer (1969) dis- cussed endoparasites of Coloradan deer mice. Williams (1959a) and Williams and Finney (1964) reported on food habits of deer mice in Boulder and Gilpin counties, and Williams (1959b) reported on water uptake in captive deer mice. Svihla (1932) compared life histories of Coloradan deer mice and pinon mice. Doug- las' (1969b) study is the most thorough made to date on P. maniculatus in Colorado, con- trasting that species with P. truei in Mesa Verde National Park.
