belonging exclusively here, even if its earlier exclusive use in this sense be 
ignored on the ground that it antedates the introduction of the binomial sys- 
tem of nomenclature. 
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION.—As will be seen by a reference to the 
subjoined list of specimens, the present species has quite an extensive geo- 
graphical range, being found from Pembina, Minn., eastward to the Atlantic 
coast, and from the Red River Settlement and Canada to Georgia and West- 
ern Missouri. It is said to be common in the mountains of the Carolinas, 
and Audubon and Bachman state that ‘it is found in Tennessee and through- 
out Louisiana”. It is not, however, found in the ‘alluvial districts of Carolina 
and Georgia”, nor in Florida, and is presumably absent from all the low- 
lands of the Gulf coast, and probably not to be met with “throughout Lou- 
isiana”, but only in the higher and more northerly portions. The authors 
above cited state that in South Carolina it is not found nearer the seaboard 
than Columbia. It is not enumerated by Roemer as an animal of Texas, nor 
is it mentioned as occurring in the Southwest beyond Western Missouri. 
Richardson gives it as common on the northern shores of Lakes Superior and 
Huron, but states it as his belief that it does not range northward beyond the 
fiftieth parallel. Hall enumerates it among the animals of Canada, and Gil- 
pin among those of Nova Scotia.* Adams gives it as very common in New 
Brunswick, as it likewise is in Maine and throughout the Northern States.
