licks that occur at several places about W'hitefish Lake, and it 

 is in this region that the remarkable flash-light photographs 

 of the species have been taken b}^ Mr. Shiras. 



Sciitrits caroliiicusis Iciicotis (Gapper). Northeastern 

 Gray Squirrel. — The writer did not find this species in the 

 region but was told by residents that a few were taken by deer 

 hunters who camped about two miles west of Peter White 

 Camp in 191 5. The species is probably nowhere common in 

 the region as the supply of food (which is principally beech

Sciuriis Jiucisoiiiciis loqnax (Bangs). Southeastern Red 

 Squirrel. — The red squirrel is common and was generally

 Young were observed on July 25 and 27. (Plate III, fig. i.) 



Tamias striatus griseus (Mearns). Northeastern Chip- 

 munk. — This large species is quite common in the forest and 

 is found in clearings at Peter White Camp. 



Marmota iiioimx cauodcnsis (Erxleben). Canada Wood- 

 chuck. — The woodchuck is not rare in the region and occurs 

 in the heavy forest, pasture lands and clearings. 



Scinroptcrus sahrinus macrotis (Mearns). Canada Fly-

 was told by the residents that they are occasionally obsen^ed 

 in the forest. It is referred to this sub-species as the specimens 

 from northern Michigan in the Museum collections have been 

 so identified by the U. S. Biological Survey. 



Castor canadensis michigancnsis (Bailey). Woods Beav- 

 er.^W^hile formerly quite common the beaver is now scarce 

 in the region. A few were found about Whitefish Lake and
