Columbia Co. — " A few have been killed in my memory in this county." — 

 Buckalew, 1900. 



Dauphin Co. — The living animal from which Audubon made his figure in 

 Quadrupeds of N. America was taken by S. F. Baird "in company with an 

 older one in Peter's Mountain, 6 miles above Harrisburg," in early February, 

 1844. — See p. 312, vol. I. 



Forest Co. — "John Bush, of Tionesta, killed one about 1893 on the ice of 

 the Alleghany River. Its sale to a fur dealer proved its identity as a fisher 

 fox." — Irwin, 1900. 



Lackawanna Co. — " I recently saw one of two fishers which were killed by 

 Martin Crippen, of Olyphant, about 1885. It is in the collection of Dr. 

 Isaiah F. Everhart, of Scranton. This specimen and the other, which was 

 kept by Crippen, were mounted by Mr. G. P. Friant, of Scranton, who per- 

 sonally furnished me the data. They were associated, and had been living 

 some time near Olyphant in a den or burrow, making occasional raids on the 

 farmers' poultry." — Rhoads, 1902. 



Lancaster Co. — "On March it, 1896, a fine male Pekan was shot by 

 Christ S. Nunnemacher on the borders of a wood on Mill Creek, 2 miles 

 north of Bird-in-Hand and about 3 miles east of Lancaster. Mill Creek rises 

 in the Welsh Mountains, This animal had been making depredations on the 

 farmers' poultry in that vicinity for some months and was finally discovered 

 by some dogs that accompanied Nunnemacher. The animal was taken to Dr. 

 M. W. Raub, of Lancaster, to be mounted, and the stuffed specimen is now 

 in his possession. In a letter from Dr. Raub I have received full confirmation 

 of the above facts and unmistakable evidence that the animal was not a 

 "Marten," as reported in the Lancaster newspapers of that date." — Rhoads,
