TENNESSEE MAMMALS — KELLOGG 279 



in a dense growth of rhododendron in oak, birch, maple, and hemlock 

 woods. At 4,500 feet they were trapped between the rocks around 

 the roots of hemlock trees. Komarek and Komarek (1938, pp. 154r- 

 155) trapped this mouse in spruce forests along the divide of the 

 Great Smoky Mountains and at lower elevations in shaded ravines 

 and forested areas with dense crown. They list specimens from the 

 following localities in Sevier County : Buck Fork, Chapman Prong, 

 Eagle Roclis Prong, Ramsey Prong, and AValker Prong of Little 

 Pigeon River, Brushy Mountain, Grassy Patch (on Alum Cave Creek, 

 2 miles east of The Chunneys), Greenbrier, Mount Guyot, and Silers 

 Bald. Specimens were taken also at Russell Field and Thunderhead 

 in Blount County. 



This white-footed mouse may be recognized readily by its long 

 penicillate tail. The average measurements of 10 males from Inadu 

 Knob (2), Snake Den Mountain (2), Low Gap (1), and Roan Moun- 

 tain (5) are as follows: Total length, 180.5 (174-185); tail, 92.5 

 (87-98) ; hind foot, 20.1 (20-21). For 12 females fi-om Indian Knob 

 (3), Low Gap (1), Snake Den Mountain (4), Roan Mountain (4) the 

 averag-e measurements are as follows: Total length, 182.9 (170-196) ; 

 tail, 91 (76-98) ; hind foot, 20.45 (19.5-22).

PEROMYSCUS LEUCOPUS LEUCOPUS (Rafinesque) : White-footed Deer 



Mouse 



This white-footed mouse is generally found in upland woods but 

 occurs also along the borders of poorly kept cultivated fields, espe- 

 cially w'here the hedgerows or fences are a tangled mass of bushes 

 and briers. At higher elevations it has been found living in crevices 

 in rock ledges. In the vicinity of Samburg, Rhoads (1896, p. 187) 

 fomid that these mice "seemed to fi*equent the intermediate grounds 

 between the overflowed bottoms and the bluff." Osgood (1909, p. 

 117) lists five specimens from Samburg, Obion County. Five were 

 caught by Perrygo and Lingebach in wet boggy places in the decidu- 

 ous woods near Reelfoot Lake, Obion Coimty. Rhoads (1896, p. 187) 

 trapped this mouse at Raleigh, Shelby County, and at Belleview, 

 Davidson County. They were rather numerous in sparse second- 

 growth deciduous woods on the dry hillside north of Waynesboro,
