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



Mountains of New Hampshire — but nowhere else, as far as is 

 known, in Massachusetts. Besides this interesting bird, a 

 number of Canadian birds which occur only sparingly elsewhere 

 in the county, are either common or abundant on Greylock. 

 Such are the Winter Wren, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Mourning 

 Warbler, and Brown Creeper." 



The mountain has been visited by at least three mammalogists, 

 and is the only locality in the State from which several species 

 of Canadian mammals have been recorded. In May, 1893, Mr. 

 Outram Bangs and Mr. G. S. Miller, Jr., spent a few days on 

 the summit, and Mr. William Dearden made two trips there in 

 1907-1908, collecting mammals for the Springfield Museum of 

 Natural History. Whenever specimens taken by them add to 

 the value of the list the records are cited. Mr. George A. 

 Bauer, superintendent of the Greylock State Reservation, who 

 for several years has occupied the summit house, is a keen 

 observer of the wild life of the mountain, and has kindly sup- 

 plied me with notes on the occurrence of many of the larger 

 mammals. He is the authority for all statements followed by 

 his initials. Unfortunately it is impossible at this time to make 

 the list complete, as information on certain species is somewhat 

 meagre, and entirely lacking in respect to the bats. We did 

 no trapping below about 2500 feet. 



Much credit is due my companion, Mr. Julius Rockwell, 

 whose indefatigable zeal in field work made possible the accom- 

 plishment of our purpose. I wish to express my thanks to 

 Mr. Francis W. Rockwell, chairman of the Greylock Reserva- 

 tion Commission, for giving us permission to collect on the 

 mountain, to Messrs. William Dearden and George A. Bauer 

 for supplying me with notes, to Mr. Charles F. Batchelder for 

 allowing me to examine the. type of Sorex dispar, and to Dr. 

 Glover M. Allen for comparing some of my specimens with 

 those in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Odocoileus virginianus borealis. 



Deer are commonly seen in open fields at about 2600 feet. They have 

 appeared at the summit when driven by dogs. (G. A. B.) 



Sciurus carolinensis leucotis. 



Gray squirrels occur at the foot of the mountain hut are rare ahove 

 1800 feet. They have been recorded rarely at the summit. (G. A. B. )
