10. Zapus hudsonius ' Zimin. '. Meadow Jumping M 



While reported as a well-known species in all localities, I failed 

 to get any specimens. Mr. Ingersoll secured none during his expe- 

 dition, perhaps on account of the mice having gone into winter quar- 

 ters. He heard of them at Tuscarora and at Hopewell, in both cases 

 the meadow species being designated. 



11. Zapus insignis Miller. Woodland Jumping Moose. 



The first Pennsylvania specimen of this species was taken by my 

 friend, Wm. A. Shryock, near Pocono, Monroe County, and recorded 

 in the American Naturalist in 1894. In the summer of 1896 I ex- 

 amined a mounted specimen in the collection of Mr. A. K. Pierce, 

 of Renovo, who stated it was taken in a hemlock ravine near Howard 

 Station, Elk County, a few years previously. Two specimens were 

 taken near Eaglesmere by me in August. LS96. 



This species may perhaps be found as far south as >.>n,er-et 

 County, along the culminating ridge of Allegheny Mountain, but its 

 predilection for to the northern Alleghenian region seems pretty 

 well proved. 



12. Synaptomys cooperi Baird. Cooper's Lemming Vole. 



The first Pennsylvania record for this mouse was given in 

 paper on the mammals of Monroe and Pike Counties. 3 Mr. Ingersoll 

 captured five in a springy meadow at the foot of the low mountain 

 near Kring's Station, Cambria County, close to the Somerset County 

 line. They were all taken within a space of 50 acres, in runways 

 among high grass and matted herbage near an old clearing. During 

 the time covered in trapping them about six times as many meadow 

 voles were taken in the same spot. Xo other specimens have been 

 met with in central Pennsylvania, 4 though the species undoubtedly 

 occurs in isolated places throughout the northern and western parts 

 of the region. The Kring's series agree perfectly with specimens 

 from northern New Jersey and Roan Mountain, Xorth Carolina. 



13. Evotomys gapperi (Vig.i. Gapper's Wood Vole. 



Wherever the coniferous woodland remains undisturbed in the 

 Allegheny region this species abounds in moist ravines and swamps. 

 Beyond these situations it rarely wanders, although two specimens 

 were taken on the dry, rocky summit of Negro Mountain, Som 

 County, along the wooded cliffs inhabited by Xeotoma magister.

 1S97, by Mr. Nelson.
