Wayne County. Others were trapped in rock ledges in the woods 

 along Birds Creek, south of Crossville, and in mixed pine and hard- 

 woods on the Cumberland Plateau near Melvine. Near Pulaski and 

 also at Frankewing, Perrygo trapped this mouse during November 

 1937 in patches of cacti growing on rocks in clumps of scrub cedar. 



The average measurements of 12 males from Waynesboro (3), 

 Frankewing (1), Crossville (2), Melvine (1), Big Sandy (1), and 

 Reelfoot Lake (4) are as follows: Total length, 162.4 (152-171); 

 tail, 71 (59-79); hind foot, 20 (19.5-21). For 7 females from 

 Waynesboro (2), Pulaski (1), Big Sandy (2), Clarkesville (1), and 

 Reelfoot Lake (1) the average measurements are: Total length, 170.5 

 (156-181) ; tail, 73.28 (67-83) ; hind foot, 20.2 (20-22).

PEROMYSCUS LEUCOPUS NOVEBORACENSIS (Fischer): Northern 

 White-footed Mouse, or Deer Mouse 



The specimens from eastern Tennessee are not typical, although 

 they do not diflfer appreciably from those taken in the mountainous 

 section of eastern West Virginia. Two were taken on June 15, 1937, 

 in a hemlock and rhododendron bog behind the camp at Shady Val- 

 ley. At an altitude of 3,800 feet on the Holston Mountains, 4 miles 

 northeast of Shady Valley, one was trapped in a large-size Schuyler 

 trap nailed to an oak tree for flying squirrels. 



For two males from Watauga Valley the measurements are, re- 

 spectively: Total length, 161, 157: tail, 69, 66; hind foot, 20, 19.5. 

 For two females from Johnson County and one female from Watauga 

 Valley, the measurements are, respectively: Total length, 186, 172, 

 176; tail, 83, 83, 76; hind foot, 21.5, 22, 20. Komarek and Komarek 

 (1938, p. 155) have commented on the difficulty of identifying sub- 

 specifically the white-footed mice of this area and refer specimens 

 taken in Sevier County along Fish Camp Prong of Little River, at 

 Greenbrier, and on Porters Flats provisionally to Peromyscus leuco- 

 pus leucopus.
