Valuable notes upon 41 species from a section of the State 
hitherto unstudied by the mammalogist. 
Rwoaps, SAMUEL N. The Mammals of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, 
Philadelphia, 1903. 
This elaborate scientific and historical monograph is the best 
and most comprehensive State report on mammals that has yet 
appeared. It completely covers the subject and leaves practically 
nothing to be said on the New Jersey species. It should be in the 
hands of everyone interested in the subject. 
The above works, as well as various other papers scattered 
through periodicals have been consulted in preparing the present 
work and to the authors of all, especially to Mr. Rhoads, the 
writer would express his obligations. Further acknowledgements 
should be made to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel- 
phia for the opportunity of using the library of the institution 
and studying its collection of mammals which includes the New 
Jersey material collected by both Mr. Rhoads and the author to- 
gether with other specimens from the State. 
The descriptions are drawn up from notes compiled by the 
writer when preparing the volume on American Animals* in 
conjunction with William E. Cram. The plates are from 
Audubon and Bachman’s Quadrupeds of North America, reports 
of the United States National Museum, Smithsonian Institution 
and United States Fish Commission and from specimens in the 
Academy’s collection. 
Finally, I wish to express my obligation to Mr. S. R. Morse, 
Curator of the State Museum, at Trenton, for many courtesies 
and much aid in publishing the present report.
