MAMMALIA 
Northern Virginia Deer. Edocoileus americanus borealis (Mil¬ 
ler). 
Still abundant in both counties, though signs of their presence 
are more common than a sight of the animals themselves. Fresh 
footprints were found in the soft sand along the shore of the 
Kenton river within a little over a stone’s throw of the town. 
At Lake 33 several were seen every day as they came to the water 
at different points. However, many more were seen and heard 
at night when they were ^‘spotted” for photographic purposes. 
Eed Squirrel, Sciurus Jiudsonicus loquax (Bangs.) 
This is the only species of squirrel seen; though it occurs in 
both counties, it is certainly not abundant. Several were heard 
at different times in the woods about Kenton, and one was taken 
for identification. About Lake 33 but two were seen, and here 
again a specimen was nrocured. 
Lake Superior Chipmunk. Eutamias quadrivittatus neglectus 
(Allen). 
~ This little chipmunk is the commoner of the two species found, 
being relatively abundant in both counties. It may be distin¬ 
guished from the next species in a moment by its small size, if 
not by the difference in the coloration and markings. It was 
found all through the woods wherever there were fallen logs or 
stumps, and was very shy and wary. 
Northeastern Chipmunk. Tamias striatus lysteri (Eichardson). 
Seen only in Houghton county, where one specimen was col¬ 
lected to prove the co-existence of the two species in the same 
formation. This species is not as abundant as the preceding, 
though found in practically the same places. 
Canadian Woodchuck. Marmota monax canadensis (Erxleben). 
Woodchucks are common in both counties, though the type 
of country visited in Houghton county was more suited to their 
life, and consequently more evidences of their activity were
