been recorded at many of these sites (Golley 1966), and we recovered 

 several specimens at most of these localities. However, Clethriono- 

 mys gapperi was not reported beyond the Walhalla Fish Hatchery 

 site until we recovered one in the region of Sassafrass Mountain 

 (Pickens County, US Hwy 178, 7.4 m north of State Hwy 11). This is 

 most southeastern record for the species and, like S. cinereus, it 

 apparently has a very limited distribution in South Carolina. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS— We appreciate the field assistance of 

 numerous persons including E. Mitchell, J. Kimbrell, N. Lautenschlager, 

 B. Smith, L. Grassman, and S. Chalmers. Collecting activities were 

 conducted under South Carolina Permit #0016-94. We also thank 

 biologists with the Walhala Fish Hatchery, Sumpter National Forest, 

 and Caesar's Head State Park for permission to conduct surveys on 

 United States Forest Service and South Carolina State Park lands.
