MAP 52— RANGE OF THE LARGE SKUNKS OF THE GENUS MEPHITIS. 



This map is founded chiefly on A. H. Howell's Revision. N. A. Fauna No. 20. 1901. Spotted on it are all the records he gives for the 

 species found in Canada, except occidentalis which barely enters British Columbia. Additional records by E. A. Preble, J. Alden Loring, and E. T. 

 Seton are marked. The zig-zag line is range of the Hooded Skunk f.1/. macroura); this is left untinted to avoid obscuring the range of estor.
