In addition to the species given in the following list, the 

 lisher, marten, small brown weasel (Mitstcla cicognam) , New 

 York weasel {Mitstcla lurz'cboroccnsis) and at least two bats 

 almost certainly occur in the region. The fisher and marten 

 have been so diminished in numbers by trapping, and, with

 bats, but as specimens could not be secured their identity could 

 not be established.

 informed the writer that in August, 1878, he saw a cow moose

 outside of the region covered. The writer obtained a small 

 set of moose antlers at X. M. Kauft'man's camp on Silver Lake

 of the lake about 1892.
