Habitat. — North America. 



Having already given, under head of the genus, a sufficient description 

 of the only recognized species, we do not consider it necessary to enter into 

 further detail respecting so well-known an animal, concerning which we have 

 no new information to offer. 



BIBLIOGRAPHICAL APPENDIX. 



[Note. — Besides tbe numerous general treatises already cited as bearing in due part upon North 

 American Muridw, tbe following special works and papers relating to tbe Muridw at large may be noted. 

 The American literature of tbe subject is believed to have been very fully indexed ; otherwise, the list 

 is supposed to be far from complete. Many of the foreign titles are borrowed from Cams and Engelmann, 

 and those which have not been verified by actual reference may not prove to be literally correct.]
