The county covers an area of about four hundred square miles; 
as various deep drains, is rich, well wood- 
ed, without underbrush ; ; copiously watered, but not by large 
streams. The i ease of population has been such, that the

sylvatica, Acer saccharinum, various species of Qifercus, of Carya, 
and of Juglans, and Liriodendron ai are the prevailing 
kinds of timber. 
As this section of country is scinpellh rely new, it is presuma- 
ble that a change will take place in its zoological character; such 
achange has indeed already commenced, and its progress up to the 
present time, will be indicated in the notes to ‘the catalogue. 
Icannot venture to say, that the subjoined enumeration em- 
braces all the mammalia of this county; but it is as nearly com- 
plete as persevering research for several years has been able to 
Make it. Besides my own observations, I have availed myself 
of the opportunity of gaining information from the first white 
settlers of this district ; an advantage which will soon be beyond 
the reach of the future naturalist. If I have omitted any ani- 
mals now existing here, I can only say, I have had no assistance 
in detecting them; and if the catalogue is not lengthened to the 
Utmost, I hope it will be found accurate as far as it extends.
