A CENTURY OF ZOOLOGY IN INDIANA. 213 



our mammals is Dr. Frank W. Langdon's Mammalia of the vicinity of Cin- 

 cinnati, published in 1881. Tn this list are several references to Indiana 

 localities for the species mentioned. A year later Dr. Langdon published 

 a synopsis of the Cincinnati fauna in which similar Indiana references occur. 

 In this same year (1882) Dr. Bray ton published his report on the mammals 

 of Ohio, containing many references to Indiana localities. 



Many of these publications were compilations which did not represent 

 any original investigation or study of the Indiana mammalian fauna. But 

 about this time there began to appear in the Journal of the Cincinnati 

 Society of Natural History, the American Naturalist, the Bulletin of the 

 Brookville Society of Natural History, the Indiana Farmer, and elsewhere, 

 short papers of a very different character, papers which told about the animals 

 which the writers themselves had seen, observed and studied in the open, in 

 their natural environment. These papers were by two young men at Brook- 

 ville, — Edgar R. Quick and Amos W. Butler, some of them joint productions. 

 The first was by Mr. Quick in 1881 on the white-footed mouse, which was 

 followed the next year by one on the common meadow mouse; also by another 

 short paper on mammals found in Franklin County. In 1884 Quick and 

 Butler published in the American Naturalist a valuable paper on the habits 

 of some Arvicolinge. In the same year Mr. Butler published a paper on 

 Local Weather Lore in which interesting references are made to various ani- 

 mals. Then followed numerous papers on Franklin Coixnty mammals by 

 Mr. Butler: Observations on the muskrat; Observations on faunal changes; 

 The common meadow mouse; Some more mice; Meadow mice in southeastern 

 Indiana, all in 1885; Zoological miscellany in 1887 and 1888. Our smaller 

 mammals and their relation to horticulture, in 1891; Our Indiana shrews, in 

 1892; Bibliography of Indiana mammals and a preliminary list of Indiana 

 mammals (joint author with Barton W. Evermann) in 1893; The mammals 

 of Indiana, in 1894; Indiana — a century of changes in the aspects of nature, 

 in 1895; and Life in the forest — mammals, in 1898. 



Barton Warren Evermann has made a few contributions to our knowledge 

 of the mammalian fauna of Indiana. In 1888 he published the first record 

 of the occurrence of the star-nosed mole in Indiana; in 1894, a bibliography 

 of Indiana mammals and a preliminary list of Indiana mammals (with Amos 

 W. Butler) ; and in 1911 (with H. Walton Clark) an annotated list of the mam- 

 mals of Lake Maxinkuckee and vicinity. 



Another Indiana naturalist who made valuable contributions to the 

 literature of the Indiana mammalian fauna is the late Dr. Walter L. Hahn. 

 Dr. Hahn spent the month of August, 1905, in field work studying the mam- 

 mals of the Kankakee region in northwestern Indiana, the results of which 

 he published in 1907 as "Notes on mammals of the Kankakee Valley." In 

 1908, there appeared from Dr. Hahn's pen, three valuable papers dealing 

 with Indiana mammals: "Some habits and sensory adaptations of cave- 

 habiting bats;" "Notes on the mammals and cold-blooded vertebrates of
