238 The American Naturalist. [Mareh, 
mammals in the meat and in alcohol, from Bertie Co., N.C. The 
specimens came from that part of the county which lies a few miles 
west of the shore of Albemarle Sound, and about midway between the 
Tar and Chowan Rivers. Nothing larger than a Flying Squirrel was 
sent, hence the list is by no means a complete one, though it contains 
several records of interest. The following were the species obtained : 
1. Microtus pinetorum.—One specimen, Jan. 22, 1891, and three in 
July, 1891. (Microtus pennsylvanicus, one of our commonest mice at 
Raleigh, was not obtained at all.) 
2. Peromyscus leucopus.—Twenty-one specimens were received of 
this species, showing it to be the predominant Deer Mouse of the locality 
as against the next. 
3. Peromyscus gossypinus—Four specimens of this species were 
secured, one being in the bluish pelage of the young, 
4. Peromyscus aureolus.—Thirty-seven specimens. The larger num- 
ber received of this arboreal species was due to the ease with which 
they can be caught in their nests, when one once knows just where to 
look for the said nests. 
5. Reithrodontomys lecontei.—Ten specimens of the Harvest Mouse 
were received. Like P. leucopus and P. gossypinus they were mostly 
caught in traps. 
6. Sciuropterus volans—Four adults and three young of the Flying 
Squirrel were received. 
7. Putorius noveboracensis.—Two young Weasels, a male 265 mm. in 
total length, and a female 234 mm., were the onl y carnivora contained 
in the collection. Date of capture, May 16, 1892. 
8. Scalops aquaticus.—Four specimens of the Common Mole were 
taken July 9, 1891; March 24 and April 22, 1892, and March 18, 1893. 
9. Blarina parva.—Twelve specimens were dug out of an old stump 
on Jan. 21, 1892, and four others were also secured. 
10. Sorex longirostris.—One specimen, collected June 13, 1892. 
11. Atalapha borealis—Thirty-six specimens of the Red Bat were 
obtained. This and the next are evidently the common bats of the 
locality. 
12. A. cinerea,—Three specimens of the Hoary Bat were collected, 
one each on Oct. 10 and Nov. 1, 1892, and April 8, 1893. 
13. Nyctieejus humeralis.—Sixty-one specimens. Of twenty-seven 
specimens caught roosting in an old house on June 18 and July 1, 
1891, all were females. 
14. Vesperugo carolinensis.—Of this bat, one of the commonest at 
Raleigh, only six specimens were received.
