64. Arvicola pinetorum Aud. & Bach. (A. \_Pitymys] pine- 

 torum Baird.) The only specimens of this species I have seen from 

 this State are one captured at Springfield in May, 1868, by my brother, 

 Mr. E. Allen, and one taken by myself a few weeks later. Both were 

 taken in the same field on the " pine plains " east of the city. Audu- 

 bon and Bachman, I find, speak of having received it from near Bos- 

 ton, from Dr. Brewer. These authors also speak of it as occurring in 

 Connecticut, and as abundant in certain portions of Rhode Island. f 

 Professor Baird cites it from Long Island,! whence Audubon and Bach- 

 man derived their first specimens of A. " scalopsoides" § which they af- 

 terwards very properly considered as a synonyme of A. pinetorum. It 



* Whatever the u A. xanthognathus" of Leach and Richardson (Faun. Bor. Am., I, 

 122) may have been, the A. xanthognathus of Godman, DeKay, and Linsley unquestion- 

 ably refers to the A. riparius of Ord.
