■6o MAMMALS OF PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY. 



Montgomery Co. — "Rare," as listed by Buck in Hist. Montg. Co., 1884, 

 p. 436. 



Mifflin Co.— A few killed recently (1899) in the Co.— Rothrock. Listed 

 in Warren's "Poultry" book, p. 507. 



Northumberland Co. — "We have seen it near Easton." — Audubon and 

 Bachman, Quad. N. Amer., vol. i. 



Perry Co. — Listed in Warren's " Poultry " book, p. 507. 



Sullivan Co. — "Rare (reddish), not on top of mountains, near Eagles- 

 mere." — Bennett. From other sources I am led to question the existence 

 of this species in Sullivan Co. Probably Bennett refers to the large rusty- 

 colored gray squirrels which are sometimes taken on the foothills. — Rhoads. 



Tioga Co. — None in Tioga Co. or this part of Pa. — Babcock. Never 

 heard of one in Tioga Co. or northern Pa. — Cleveland. 



Venango Co. — Never saw one in Venango or other northern Cos., though 

 a hunter of squirrels 20 consecutive years. No records known to him. — 

 Dorworth. 



Wayne Co. — I shot one or two many years ago. Always rare in Wayne 

 Co. — Goodnough, 1900. Never had any in Wayne Co. — Stevens. 



Wyoming Co. — " The only place I know of its being found is in Wyoming 

 Co." — Stocker. I never heard of one here in Wyoming Co. — Robinson. 



York Co. — "We have seen it near York." — Audubon and Bachm., Quad. 

 N. Amer., vol. i. Listed in Warren's "Poultry" book, 1. c, p. 507. 



General Records. — " Shot at rare intervals in some of the northern coun- 

 ties " of the western border of Pa. — Todd. Specimens of the light gray 

 phase of Pa. fox squirrel presented to the Academy of Nat. Sci., Phila., long 

 ago by Drs. Heerman and Woodhouse have no definite locality, but probably 

 •came from localities east of the Susquehanna River. Mr. IngersoU was un- 

 able to get any reliable notes of this species in his journey through Juniata, 

 Huntingdon, Blair, Cambria, Somerset and Bedford Cos. in 1896. Old 

 hunters with whom he conversed had- only known of them in the distant past. 

 — Rhoads. "This species is generally known in southeastern Pennsylvania, 

 where it chiefly abounds, as the fox squirrel." — Baird, Mam. N. Amer., 1857, 

 p. 250. 



Records in N. 'jF. — Mercer Co. — " Specimens of this squirrel have been 

 •quite frequently met with in the past three years. They seem to prefer a 

 clump of large shell-bark hickories with open ground about them." — Abbott, 

 Geolog. Surv. of N. J., 1868, p. 756. Escaped from cages and increased for 

 a time. Now exterminated. — Abbott, 1900. 



Southeast N. J. — " The southeastern portion of N. Jersey seems to be well 

 suited to them." — Audubon and Bachman, Quad. N. Amer., 1849, Vol. r. 

 ■" Not abundant." — Beesley, Geol. Surv. C. May Co., 1857, p. 135.
