7. SciUKUS iiUDSONius Pall. 
Coimnoii between Profile Lake and Franconia. 
Numerous at Chocorua (Bolles). 
8. SCIUROPTERUS VOLANS SABUINUS (Shaw). 
A flying squirrel in the collection of the Franconia natural 
history society is referable to tlie Canadian form. Although 
it is said to occur somewhat plentifully near Profile Lake, we 
did not meet with the animal. 
9. Tamias striatus lysteri (Rich.). 
A partially tamed chipmunk lived in the rocks immediately 
below the Summit House. It is said that chipmunks, red 
squirrels, and flying squirrels now and then appear about the 
buildings on the summit, the two last never remaining for any 
length of time. We saw one individual of this species near 
Profile Lake on July 20. Mr. Bolles found it not uncommon 
at Chocorua. 
10. Arctomys monax (Linne). 
I shot an adult female woodchuck a few hundred feet from 
the summit of Mount Washington on July 12, 1893. The animal 
was running about among the loose rocks near the railroad, 
and appeared to be ill at ease, as if in strange surround- 
ings. I have no doubt that it had wandered up from the lower 
country, following the clearing along the line of the railroad. 
We could find no indication of Avoodchucks' work anywhere on 
the summit. 
11. Zapus iNSiGNis Miller. 
Common in the neighborhood of Profile Lake where numer- 
ous specimens were taken. 
Mr. Bolles reported the animal tolerably common at Cho- 
corua, and Mr. Bangs has taken it at Dublin in the same State. 
Since publishing my last account of Zapus insignis (Proc. 
biolog. soc. Wash., v. 8, p. 1-8, April 22, 1893), I have 
examined nearly one hundred additional specimens. Those in 
every way bear out the characters of this remarkable species. 
12. SiTOMYS americanus (Kerr). 
A few occur about the buildings on the summit of Mount 
Washington where five perfectly typical specimens were taken. 
There can be little doubt that the species is introduced, doubtless 
brought up the mountain with the firewood used in the Summit 
House.
