7. Fiber zibethkus (L.). Muskrat. 



Carroll, Monroe, Franklin and Vigo counties. It seems common in 

 Vigo county. In the Five-mile pond, n«-ar Terre Haute, I counted 

 140 houses the other day, and in the Goose pond, ten miles south of 

 Terre Haute, I have seen many houses. A trapper, near the Goose 

 pond, told me that for several years he had caught about 160 each 

 year at this pond (Evermanu).

Ttie paper by one of the authors on the habits of the muskrat, pub- 

 lished in the American Naturalist, November, 1885, gives the result of 

 the observations of the writer in the White Water valley. 



8. Synaptomyscooperi Baird. Lemming Mouse. 



Franklin county. Identified by Dr. Haymond at Brookville thirty-five 

 or more years ago. Its range appears to be quite restricted. It has 

 been found on Brown's hill, southeast of Brookville, and along the 

 bluflFs for a mile and a half northwest of Brookville. From the 

 stomach of a hawk killed in the eastern part of the county was ob- 

 tained the skull of one of these mice. This mouse is considered to 

 be quite a rare mammal. In 1878 Mr. E. R. Quick discovered its 

 presence in numbers.
