ANNOTATED LIST OF TENNESSEE MAMMALS 



By Kemington Kellogg 



During 1937 the United States National Museum conducted natural- 

 history field work in Tennessee, for the purpose of making a collec- 

 tion of birds and mammals of the State. Watson M. Perrygo was 

 in charge of the field party, with Carleton Lingebach and Henry R. 

 Schaefer acting as field assistants. Leaving Washington on April 

 3, Perrygo and Lingebach traveled across Virginia and Tennessee to 

 Ellendale, Shelby County, where they established their first camp on 

 April 7. From this camp they collected at several localities in Shelby 

 and Fayette Counties until April 22. They worked in the vicinity of 

 Reelfoot Lake, Obion County, from April 23 to May 9; in Wayne 

 County from May 9 to 20 ; and in Cumberland County from May 20 

 to June 1. The party then commenced field work in the eastern 

 mountainous section, where with Shady Valley as a base camp they 

 made collections in this valley and in the Holston Mountains from 

 June 2 to 16. Moving camp to Cosby, in Cocke County, they worked 

 in the Great Smoky Mountains from June 18 to July 5. After work- 

 ing in the vicinity of Big Frog Mountain, Cherokee National Forest, 

 from July 8 to 15, they discontinued field operations for a few weeks 

 and returned to Washington on July 17. 



On September 9 Perrygo and Schaefer left Washington and drove 

 to Roan Mountain, where they worked from September 11 to 25. 

 They collected in the Clinch ISIountains and elsewhere in Grainger 

 County from September 27 to October 2, and around Reelfoot Lake 

 from October 4 to 24. They worked in Stewart County from Octo- 

 ber 25 to 30 and in Giles and Lincoln Counties from November 1 to 

 10, when the season's work was concluded.
