JUNE, 1901. MAMMALS FROM N. C., S. C., GA. AND FLA. ELLIOT. 37 



Sciuropterus volans querceti. 



Sciuropterus volans querceti. Bangs, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 

 1896, p. 166. 



Two specimens from Enterprise, Florida. 



I refer these examples to the present subspecies, on account 

 of the pinkish red under surface of the tail. They are not alike 

 in this coloration, one being of a very much deeper hue than the 

 other and, indeed, more pinkish than an example before me from 

 Tarpon Springs. Mr. Bangs says that .this subspecies passes 

 into true volans in southern Georgia, a series of specimens from 

 St. Marys, Ga. , being intermediate between the two. Judging 

 from the Calhoun Falls specimens above mentioned, we will be 

 obliged to carry the line of separation quite a space northward. 

 A large series of flying squirrels from the Atlantic States into 

 southern Florida will alone enable us to form a correct judg- 

 ment as to whether this form is worthy of a separate rank, and 

 if so, where the dividing line of species and subspecies really 

 exists, for it would appear to be neither in Florida nor Georgia. 



FAM. MURID.E. 



MUS. 

 Mus alexandrinus. 



Mus alexandrinus. Is. Geoff. Descr. Egypt, u, 1812, p. 733, 

 Atlas, pi. v, fig. i. 



Two specimens: i, Espanita, Anastasia Island; i, Enterprise, 

 Florida.

 Peromyscus gossypinus. 



Peromyscus gossypinus. (Le Conte), Proc. Acad.Nat. Scien., 

 Phil., 1853, p. 411. 



Seventeen examples: 7 Riceboro (type locality), Georgia; 3, 

 New Berlin; i, St. Charles Creek; 6, Gainesville, Florida. 



This species did not appear to be very abundant at any of the 

 places visited by Mr. Surber, as the small number of specimens 

 taken proves.
