FOURTEENTH REPORT. 
except when it is quite warm and it is much more hardy than the 
opossum. 
Raccoon, Procyon lotor (Linnaeus). 
A pure albino raccoon was taken in Lodi Township, about eight miles 
southwest of Ann Arbor, on December 24, 1911, by J. Alber. It was 
very fat, although no doubt less than a year old, and weighed twelve 
pounds. This is the sixth albino of this species known to the writer 
from this countv during the last forty vears. 
Meadow Mouse, Microtus pennsylvanicus (Ord.) 
A nearly pure albino of this species, an immature male, was taken 
near Salem, Washtenaw County, by E. D. Walker, on December 7, 1911, 
and presented to the Museum. While this species is very common in 
this region, often doing much damage to small fruit trees as well as 
grass and grain crops, albinos are very rare, and the only previous 
record known to the writer was a perfect specimen caught by him, in 
July, 1875, in a low wet meadow in Lodi Township, Washtenaw County.
