Mammals of Porter County 221 



Mammals Almost Certain to be Found in the Dune Region of 



Porter County, but Concerning Whose Occurrence There 



IS NO Satisfactory Evidence at the Present Time in 



the Nature of Specimens Collected or Observed. 



Little brown bat {Myotis lucifugus Le Conte), Say bat (M. subulatus 

 Say), brown bat {Eptesicus fuscus Beauvois), silver-haired bat (La- 

 sionyceris noctivagans Le Conte), hoary bat (Nycteris cinera Beauvois), 

 Pennsylvania vole {Microtus pennsylvanicus Ord), jumping-mouse 

 {Zapus hudsonms Zimmerman), flying squirrel {Glaucomys volans 

 Linneaus), gray squirrel {Sciiinis carolinensis Gmelin). 



Existing Mammals Which Probably Occur or Have Lately Occurred 

 IN THE Dune Region of Porter County. 



Star-nosed mole (Condylura cristata Linnaeus), long-tailed shrew 

 (So)-ex personatuii Goeffroy,) small short-tailed shrew (Crypfotis parva 

 Say), lemming mouse (Synaptomys cooperi Baird), badger {Taxidea 

 taxus Schreber). The badger was noted by Wood (6) in Berrien County, 

 Michigan, as late as 1917. A. E. Didelot who is quite familiar with 

 badgers from experience in Wyoming and has information of most of 

 the animals trapped about Waverly Beach and Chesterton, knows of none 

 having been taken in the region.

 Pallas), otter {Lutra canadensis Schreber), puma {Felis cougar 

 Kerr), Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis Kerr), bay lynx (L. ruffus
