?t has been proved by actual ex-
periment that small rodents of arid
regions are able •to live for two or
three years on hard seeds and. with-
out any water, In 'New Trails 111
Mexico," 3l3', Karl I,uulllol(1 says
that the aniinads of the desert have
succeeded' in making 'themsel2 es al-
most independent of the water sup-
ply.
Holes or. burrows in the ground
that indicate the presence of ro-
dents or of badgers are often found
in great numbers where there is no
water nearer than a lonely tinaja
i1) a distant mountain range, of
which they could hardly have had
any knowledge,, Tho roving 71101.111-
tain sheep require more water, al-
though Mcxienes and Indians in-
sist that they drink only when rain
falls.
Moreover, I have it on the au-
thority of an intelligent and obser-
vant American in Sonora that while
the white-tailed deer in eastern So-
nora drunk regularly, those in its
western pati never drink unless. it
rains, which happens rarely. He
has never seen their tracks at the
water ]toles there, although he has
ebscrved them elsewhere not vera'
far from water. Another American
of many years'. resiclenee, who has
shut deer southeast of Libertad,
confirms this.
It is certain also that domesti-
cated animals in the arid regions
are notch ,less dependent on wafter
than those of moister regions. Cat-
tle will live well for months without
any outer water than the juice of
the cactus, which plant is also their
principal means of subsistence.
Even horses, do not come in to chink
of their own free will every day
during the winter. In my travels it
e•as the usual thing for our .animals
to go without water every second
day ; such is the custom of that wes-
tern desert country, and the ani-
mals keep in surprisingly good con-
dition.
On one occasion in March, our
horses and mules travelled all clay,
and had no water for seventy-six
hours- It was only the horses that
