• Near Inuvik. 4 specimens (3 M, 1 F) captured in 75,000 trap-nights.

 and the Wisconsin paleoecology of the east-central Great Basin. Quaternary Res. 37:229-238. 



• Summarizes the paleo records of northern bog lemmings with a dot map and citations. Indications 

 are that the species in the Snake Range on the NV/UT border was only locally present in or near 

 mesic spruce forest habitat 24,000 to 15,000 yrs BP.

• Caught one northern bog lemming in "mature subalpine forest" during 26,700 trapnights.

. A single SYNAPTOMYS BOREALIS found (in Holocene birch phase sediment) among 10s of 

 thousands of small mammal remains. It was not found in Pleistocene deposits. Currently inhabits 

 the area.

• For SYNAPTOMYS BOREALIS: 2 locations in central BC; female w/ 4 embryos taken 15 May; 

 all trapped in runways through VACCINIUM; associated species included MICROTUS 

 PENNSYLVANICUS and CLETHRIONOMYS GAPPERI.

• Collected SYNAPTOMYS DALLI (=BOREALIS) at several locations. At one location near Lake 

 Lebarge they were in long grass at the edge of a small pond, while other locations were in cold 

 boggy places near small streams. Gives description and measurements.

• Collected 24 SYNAPTOMYS DALLI (=BOREALIS) of all age and sex categories. Found much 

 age variation in skull measurements. Usually found in small colonies "hi very wet swampy places.
