The kangaroo rat is the subject of a 100-page publication released today by the Museum.of Natural History. The research represented in Dipodomys ordi" earned for Henry W. Setzer, the author, a Ph.D. degree and the position of assistant curator of mammals in the United States National museum, Washington, D.C.
Smaller than a bullfrog but surpassing even Mark Twain's celebrated jumping frog in leaping ability. Such an animal is the kangaroo rat.
It Looks Like A Kangaroo But It's Really A Rat
This fawn-colored rodent is slightly smaller than a barn rat but with a much longer tail. It lives in the sandy soils of western North America—ranging from Medora, Kan., west to Vinton, Calif. and from Medicine Hat,
Canada, south to Icelo, Mexico.
The kangaroo rat gets its name from the large hind legs for jumping and the long tail for balance.
Dr. Setzer examined almost 4,000 specimens during his study. Many already were in the KU. museum, but he traveled several thousand miles to learn the habits of kangaroo rats and to obtain additional specimens from critical localities.
Descriptions of all known species of kangaroo rats are given, and Dr. Setzter describes the 35 subspecies of the species Dipodomys ardii in

detail. Four subspecies are new to science. Two principal centers of evolution were the arid southwestern United States and adjoining parts of Mexico, and the great central valley of California.
"Life in the raw" often entered the preparations of Dr. Setzer's zoological record. Seeking one rare subspecies, he visited a desolate spot in southwestern Colorado where another naturalist had seen the species 40 years before.
Store Gives Eggs Away
He set 500 traps for two nights, but caught only one specimen even then he had to take it away from a hungry rattlesnake and was able to save only the skull.
Tampa, Fla. — (U.P.) - Tampans would like more price wars. One Tampa store sold eggs for a nickel a dozen while its competitor was giving away a dozen eggs with each purchase of a pound of sausage.
