lilRDS OF MAINE. 151 



With the iuformatiou at haud this is the best I am able to do in 

 re-arranging our faunal lines. It is highly probable that isolated 

 areas of one fauna will be found to occur well within and entirely 

 surrounded by the other. These isolated areas will ultimately be 

 mapped out with a precision which cannot now be attempted. 

 During the past mouth I have obtained information which has 

 chauged conclusious I formerly held regarding the limitations of 

 these areas. 



From personal observation I am able to state that Hancock 

 County is purely Canadian in characters, and this is likewise true 

 with Penobscot, where Canadian characters slightly predominate. 

 Such parts of Waldo as I have been over are likewise Canadian, 

 although I have not been in the southwestern part. The conclu- 

 sions arrived at regarding the other counties are derived from the 

 combined observations of others and myself.
