course of field work done for the ^Michigan Geological and 

 Biological Survey. The retiring habits of the species made it 

 impossible to determine its abundance in the localities where 

 it was found. Eleven specimens were obtained in Schoolcraft 

 County and one other seen. In Alanistee County one specimen 

 was secured and two others seen. The Missaukee County 

 record is based upon a single individual observed on the bank 

 of the Manistee River. 



All of the specimens secured were found in wet grassy 

 sloughs or on the banks of rivers. 



So far as we are able to discern the Michigan specimens 

 differ from the eastern specimens which we have seen and 

 from published descriptions of Clcmmys iiisculpta only in that 

 the color of the ventral side of the soft parts is ochraceous 

 orange instead of "reddish" or "bright l)rick red."
