270 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol.86 



one was trapped. In eastern Tennessee, according to Klioads (1896, 

 p. 193), the vertical range of the woodchuck does not extend upward 

 into the fir belt, which begins approximately at an elevation of 5,000 

 feet. Two woodchncks were taken by the Museum party, however, 

 during September 1937 at Carvers Gap on a bald spot at an altitude 

 of 5,500 feet. A specimen from Greenbrier, Sevier County, is listed 

 by Komarek and Komarek (1938, p. 151). 



A few woodchucks occur along the edges of mixed deciduous and 

 pine woods on Big Frog Mountain, Polk County, where no farming 

 has been carried on for a great many years. In this region the 

 vertical range of this animal goes up to at least 2,500 feet.

TAMIAS STRIATUS STRIATUS (Linnaeus): Southeastern Chipmunk 



Very few chipmunks were seen in Tennessee by the Museum party. 

 Several were observed during June 1937 at an altitude of 3,800 feet 

 in oak and beech woods on the Holston Mountains, 4 miles northeast 

 of Shady Valley, Johnson County. Chipmunks appear to be more 

 numerous here than at any other locality visited in 1937. Two were 

 seen September 18, 1937, at an altitude of 4,000 feet on Roan Moun- 

 tain, Carter County. One was seen during June 1937 at an altitude 

 of 2,700 feet on Low Gap southeast of Cosby, Cocke County. 

 Komarek and Komarek (1938, p. 152) state that chipmunks are com- 

 mon in the deciduous woods of the Great Smoky Mountains and list 

 specimens from Eagle Rocks Prong of Little Pigeon River, Green- 

 brier, Horseshoe Mountain (about 3 miles east of Mount LeConte 

 and 11^ miles north of Mount Kephart), Mount Harrison, and Por- 

 ters Flats in Sevier County, and also from Thunderhead in Blount 

 County. Rhoads (1896, p. 194) observed chipmunks at Johnson 

 City, Washington County, and at Greeneville, Greene County. 

 Howell (1909, p. 59) states that chipmunks were reported to occur 

 at Highcliff, Campbell County, and on Walden Ridge near Soddy, 

 Hamilton County, and that one was seen on Coal Creek in Ander- 

 son County. 



In middle Tennessee, Rhoads observed chipmunks at Nashville, 

 Davidson County, and mentioned two specimens taken at Warner, 

 Hickman County, during November and December. No chipmunks 

 were seen by Rhoads "at Chattanooga or Knoxville, nor on the Cum- 

 berland plateau." Perrygo reports that a few chipmunks were noted
