1 It seems probable that Hennepin's "wild goats" were white-tail deer, 

 and not antelope, as Hoy surmised. Joliet also mentions "wild goats", wild 

 oxen, and stags, referring, no doubt, to deer, buffalo, and elk. Lapham's 

 record is extralimital. 



2 There are no recent records of rattus from anywhere near Wisconsin. 

 Melanistic specimens of E. norvegicus, of which I have seen skins, are 

 perhaps responsible for these records. 



3 This record, based on Hoy's notes, is unquestionably an error. 



4 Probably included all the species of Arvicola known from eastern North 

 America without evidence of occuri-ence in the state. 



5 Included in the various editions of Jordon's Manual of the Vertebrates, 

 and range given as extending to Wisconsin, on Hoy's authority. 



8 Unfortunately there are no specific records for the fisher, though it 

 doubtless occurred within the boundaries of the state in early days. 



7 Strong listed all the bats known from eastern and northern states, with- 

 out having local records, and this one is not entitled to a place in a Wis- 

 consin list. 



8 Perhaps meant to include Nycticeius, and thus list all the bats known 

 from eastern North America.
