170 BULLETIN OF THE 



This beautiful little animal was obtained by Mr. C. J. Maynard at 

 Captain Dummitt's, where it was said to be common in the scrub. Mr. 

 May n aid says they arc domesticated and used there as cats, the odor 

 glands being removed when the animals are young; they become very 

 tame and are quite efficient in destroying the mice {Hvsperomys sp.) 

 that infest the houses. I am not aware that this animal has been 

 reported before from any point east of tin: Mississippi River. It has 

 been recently ascertained to extend northward in the interior as far as 

 Central Iowa.*
