Among the mammals and reptiles the following representatives of the 
Alleghanian fauna occur in the northern fourth of the State: Canada 
porcupine, Hrethizon dorsatus (l.); red squirrel or chickaree, Sciurus 
hudsonicus Erxleben; star-nosed mole, Condylura cristata (.); hoary 
bat, Atalapha cinerea (Beauv.); American badger, Taridea americana 
(Boddaert) ; speckled tortoise, Clemmys guttata (Schneider) ; and Blan- 
ding’s tortoise, Amys meleagris Shaw. 
Of the Orthoptera from the State, 28 species, or 15.5 per cent of the 
total, may be classed as belonging to the Alleghanian fauna and as occu- 
pying the southern limits of the Transition Zone, which lies between the 
Boreal and Upper Austral zones. These truly northern members of our 
Orthopteran fauna are as follows:

No list of the Coleoptera of the Transition Zone has ever been pub- 
lished, but about 1848 Louis Agassiz and other parties made a trip to 
the northern shore of Lake Superior, and in a volume published in 1850, 
treating of the natural history and other features of that region, Dr. J. 
L. Le Conte listed the beetles taken and described many new species. Of 
these more than forty have been taken in the northern fourth of Indiana
