• Small mammal diversity, niche widtli and niche overlap were studied in the Upper Rattlesnake 

 Creek drainage, Montana. Snap-trap results, habitat associations and observations are described. 

 For SYNAPTOMYS: habitat was a wet sedge-bluejoint meadow (subalpine fir/bluejoint-bluejoint 

 habitat t\'pe); one male caught 9/8/78 in 200 trap-nights; measurements; associated species

• Gives lists of all locations trapped and species at each (arranged in species accounts). 66 

 SYNAPTOMYS BOREALIS were taken at 5 locations trapped. 1/3 were adults, 4 females and 15 

 males. Measurements were taken and separated by sex. At Seldovia SYNAPTOMYS was found 

 "most frequently in little marshy meadows, but was also sometimes taken in timber in places like 

 those inhabited by red- backed mice."

• Describes 5 new species of mammals from Canada including Type of SYNAPTOMYS 

 BOREALIS ARTEMISIAE from Stevenson Creek, SW of Princeton at 2400 ft elevation . Known 

 only from Similkameen valley from 2400-5600 ft. Description of color, size, skull. Five 

 individuals (4 males, 1 female) were taken at 2400 ft site, 4 (2 males, 2 females) at a 5600 ft site. 

 The habitat at the lower site is dry Transition zone, with sagebrush, pine grass, and occasional 

 PINUS PONDEROSA. The upper site is Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and abundant ground 

 cover including VALERIANA SITCHENSIS, VERATRUM VIRIDE, ANEMONE 

 OCCIDENT ALIS, VACCINIUM, LUPINUS. and waist-high dense SALIX. Compares external 

 and skull measurements of subspecies ARTEMISIAE (6Male, SFemale), CHAPMANI (lOM, 3F),
