FEB., 1912. MAMMALS OF ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN CORY. 325 



of young are taken each year (I. c., 1908, p. 141). I have examined 

 specimens from Sauk and Marinette counties, and Jackson says it occurs 

 in nearly all parts of southern Wisconsin, stating he has seen specimens 

 from Green County and that Mr. Clark reports it from Dunn County 

 (/. c., p. 27); and I have been informed by reliable hunters and others 

 that it is not uncommon in Douglas, Bayfield and Ashland counties, 

 but I have seen no specimens from these localities.
