THE MAMMALS OF FLORIDA.

27. Mus TECTORUM Bam. White-bellied Rat. — I took 

 my first specimens in a trap set in an old shanty not far 

 from the Cedar Keys. They were not common even here, 

 and I never met with them elsewhere. 



This species was probably introduced into the country 

 from the vessels of the early Spanish discoverers. In the 

 old world it inhabits the thatched roofs of houses, from 

 which we may infer that this species originally found its 

 home among thick reeds or grasses, of which tlie roofing 

 would probably be composed.
