of young are taken each year (J. c., 1908, p. 141). I have examined 
specimens from Sauk and Marinette counties, and Jackson says it occurs 
in nearly all parts of southern Wisconsin, stating he has seen specimens 
from Green County and that Mr. Clark reports it from Dunn County 
(l. c., p. 27); and I have been informed by reliable hunters and others 
that it is not uncommon in Douglas, Bayfield and Ashland counties, 
but I have seen no specimens from these localities.
