JUNE, 1901. MAMMALS FROM N. C., S. C., GA. AND FLA. ELLIOT. 39 



Peromyscus anastasiae. 



Peromyscus anastasiae. Bangs, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., 

 1898, p. 195: 



Ten examples from Espanita, Anastasia Island, Florida. 



This mouse is very questionably separated from P. gossypinus, 

 and there are specimens before me of this form, and of P. g. 

 pattnarms from Enterprise and of P. gossypinus from Riceboro, 

 Georgia, that are precisely alike in coloration, and cannot be 

 separated. As a rule, the Espanita examples may be slightly 

 paler than those of P. gossypinus, but dark ones are met with 

 among them that will equal the deeper hues of the other forms. 

 Larger series, and from numerous localities, would be necessary 

 to decide the validity of a subspecific rank. 



Peromyscus nuttalli. 



Peromyscus nuttalli. (Harl.), Am. Month. Journ., 1832, p. 

 446. 



Thirty specimens: 9, Apex; 6, Roanoke Rapids, North Caro- 

 lina; 12, Calhoun Falls; 3, Catawba, South Carolina. 



With one exception, all the Calhoun Falls examples were 

 taken, Mr. Surber says, "in a marshy place at the head of a 

 small ravine, and all the others in a low, wet, hardwood forest, 

 where they were probably numerous among the many half-rotten 

 logs with which the earth was strewn. This tract of timber was 

 original forest, with such trees a ash, swamp oak and hickory 

 prevailing, with here and there a small walnut tree. Many 

 specimens had the cheek pouches crammed with rolled oats, 

 with which the traps were baited, also grass seeds." 



Peromyscus floridanus. 



Peromyscus floridanus. (Chapman), Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. 

 Hist., 1889, p. 117. 



Twenty-nine examples: 10, Espanita, Anastasia Island; 9, 

 Micco; 5, Enterprise; 3, Citronelle; i, Crystal River; i, Tarpon 

 Springs, Florida. 



On Anastasia Island, Mr. Surber says, "this mouse will be 

 found a common species, inhabiting that part which is covered 

 with a growth of scrub oaks and saw palmettos, its favorite 

 haunts wherever found in the State. Six specimens were taken 

 in this sort of surroundings, and another was secured on the 

 sand hills where P. phasma is so common. When I say it will
