MAMMALS OF PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY. 87 



and Drury's Run. — Rhoads. Abundant in the rocky woods around Mill Hall. 

 — Pfoutz. 



Cumberland Co. — Lewis's Cave rocks, about 6 miles from Pine Grove fur- 

 nace in South Mountain near the junction of the Adams, Franklin and Cum- 

 berland Co. lines, was the spot from which Mr. Stone's type specimens of this 

 species were taken. I visited this locality in 1893, soon after the type had 

 been trapped, and found it characteristic of the haunts of this rat as found in 

 CHnton Co. No specimens were secured, but a young one was seen in this 

 place. Their nests and rubbish indicated a long possession of this retreat. 

 Other such retreats were noted higher up the mountain side.s in two direc- 

 tions. — Rhoads. Specimens of the remains of a closely-allied species of cave 

 rat from the caves near Carlisle in this Co. were made the types of Baird's 

 Neotoma magister. No living representatives of Neotoma now inhabit these 

 caves, or did not at the time of my visit there in 1893. As will be seen later 

 on, I have heretofore contended that these fossil remains are of an animal 

 specifically identical with the living species. — Rhoads. 



Franklin Co. — Two taken near Graffenburg were sent me by Mr. Strealy 

 for examination. — Rhoads. 



Huntingdon Co. — " I have seen the species in Huntingdon Co." — Warren, 

 Poultry Book, 1897, p. 515. 

 Juniata Co. — See Warren, ibid. 



McKean Co. — Not known near Colegrove. — W. C. Dickeson. " The cave 

 or wood-rat was a native of the mountain district in the southeastern part of 

 McKean Co. This range of mountains divide the waters of the Allegheny 

 and Susquehanna. I have not heard of one of these rats being caught or 

 seen for 15 or 20 years." — C. W. Dickinson, 1900. 



Monroe and Pike Cos. — "Remains of this animal {^Neotoma magister?'], 

 b)oth fossilized and those apparently quite recent, were taken in 1880 from 

 Hartman's Cave, in Monroe Co., by T. D. Paret, of Stroudsburg. I have, as 

 yet, been unable to determine whether this interesting animal is still living in 

 that county or in Pike Co. The evidence of every sort is negative, and this 

 after the most dihgent inquiry [these remarks still hold good in 1902]. I 

 personally explored several ledges, notably those of High Knob and the cliffs 

 along the Delaware south of Milford without finding a trace of their existence. 

 It is not impossible, however, that the recent habitat of this species may be 

 traced, by isolated localities, along the Blue Ridge from South Mountain to 

 the Hudson River Highlands." — Rhoads, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 1894, 

 p. 390. 



Somerset Co. — Two specimens of "Wood-rat," taken Jan. 2, 1900, near 

 New Lexington, were presented to the Carnegie Museum by Dr. H. D. Moore. 

 — Todd. D. G. Barclay trapped "mountain rats" 2^/^ miles south of Trent, 

 and Jacob Philippi trapped them 4 miles south of Rockwood. — Moore. A 

 specimen was taken at Summit Mills by J. C. Ingersoll in 1896. — Rhoads.
