ANNOTATED LIST OF WEST VIRGINIA MAMMALS 



By Remington Kellogg 



Assistant Curator, Division of Mammals, United States National Museum 



In the spring of 1936 the Smithsonian Institution completed ar- 

 rangements for a party from the United States National Museum to 

 make a collection of birds and mammals in West Virginia. In ac- 

 cordance with instructions I accompanied the party across the State 

 to Cabell County, where a camp was established about 4 miles east 

 of Huntington on April 19, 1936. After making a number of short 

 trips along the stream valleys of adjoining counties to appraise col- 

 lecting prospects, I returned to Washington, D. C, on April 25. 

 Watson M. Perrygo and Carleton Lingebach continued with the work 

 until July 9 and then returned to Washington. On September 16 they 

 went again to W^est Virginia and remained there until November 7. 



Included in this report are all the West Virginia specimens in the 

 National Museum and the Biological Survey collections. Seventy- 

 three forms of Recent mammals are recorded as present either now or 

 formerly within the boundaries of the State. 



Measurements herein are given in millimeters. 



The collectors of the specimens herein discussed are listed as follows 

 chronologically according to the year in w^hich the material was 

 obtained:
