Copeland — Notes on the Mammals of Mt. Greylock, Mass. 159 



Sciurus hudsonicus loquax. 



The chatter uf the red squirrel was occasionally heard during our col- 

 lecting t rips in the more heavily timbered tract- several hundred feet 

 below the summit. Their cone heaps were noted in favorable localities, 

 and the species may be called rather common over the greater part of 

 the mountain. 



Tamias striatus lysteri. 



The chipmunk appears to he more abundant than the last species, and 

 it- call was often heard a few hundred feet below the summit. A single 

 specimen was taken in a mouse trap. 



Marmota monax. 



The woodchuck is common and universally distributed over the moun- 

 tain. It was seen at about 2500 feet, and burrows noted several hundred 

 feet higher, where one specimen was recently taken. 



Sciuropterus sabrinus macrotis. 



A flying squirrel was drowned in a rain barrel on the summit shortly 

 before our visit, and I had the opportunity of examining its remains and 

 saving the skull. It proved to he the Canadian species. Although a 

 careful search for Hying squirrels was made, no other examples were 

 found. 



Sciuropterus volans. 



Mr. 0. Bangs* records a single specimen of the southern flying squirrel. 



Peromyscus maniculatus gracilis. 



Only four example- of the Canadian deer mouse were positively identi- 

 fied, although a number of young, which were not preserved, may have 

 been referable to this species. One of the former was brought in by the 

 house cat at the summit house, and the other three were taken at " High 

 Bridge" at an altitude of 2700 feet. 



Mr. William Dearden reports having found it rather common on the 

 summit, and Mr. Gerrft S. Miller, Jr. ,f records four specimens taken 

 May 8, 1893. 



The Canadian white-looted mouse has not been taken elsewhere within 

 the State. 



Peromyscus leucopus noveboracensis. 



This species of white-footed mouse is far more abundant than the pre- 

 ceding, and over thirty were trapped in various localities, principally on 

 the summit.
