 Chimo, Ungava, Labrador by L.M. Turner spring 1884. Nursing female.

• A 5 year investigation of the relationships between marten population fluctuations, food habits, & 

 prey densities in Glacier NP. Foods were mostly mammals-Cricetidae. Varied with season & 

 availability; population trends strongly influenced by prey densities. SYNAPTOMYS BOREALIS 

 was trapped in 2 of 5 years trapping was done. Marten scats contained SYNAPTOMYS 

 BOREALIS at a 1.6% frequency during the study, while lemmings comprised only 2 of 223 small 

 mammals trapped.

• Describes 3 new sites for SYNAPTOMYS BOREALIS in Washington. One individual 



( immature, sex unknown) was collected 22 Jun 1 979 in a wet (standing water) hummocky sedge 

 meadow with willow and bog birch at 6100 ft. On 25 June 1980 an adult male was collected at a 

 similar site (less hummocky, no bog birch) at 5400 ft, about 6 mi from the first site. At both these 

 sites MICROTUS PENNSYLVANICUS was also trapped. An immature female was captured at 

 the third site (extreme NE WA) at 7250 ft on 23 Aug 1980. The habitat was a barren alpine ridge 

 (15% vegetative cover) at least 900 vertical ft above the nearest boggy meadow.

• First record of northern bog lemming in Montana. Addt male caught. HABITAT: a swampy area; 

 plants included Englemann spruce, timothy, false hellebore, alder, nannyberry, cow parsnip, 

 horsemint, yellow monkey flower, and snowberry . ASSOCIATED SPECIES included: 

 MICROTUS PENNSYLVANICUS and SOREX VAGRANS. TRAPPING SUCCESS: 1 lemming 

 in 62 trap-nights; not found at same site during 200 trap-nights 2 months later.
