among the rocks, as we could find no indications of the usual 
Arvicola runways. Bits of sedge, the leaves of Peck's Geum, 
and green shoots of various kinds were sometimes found drawn 
into these cavities and partly eaten, but the mice if numerous 
left remarkably little indication of their presence. The specimen 
taken at Profile Lake was trapped in a hollow beneath a rock 
close to the stream less than one hundred yards below the lake. 
It is of course impossil)le to say whether the animal is common in 
this region. Mr. Bolles did not find it at Chocorua, nor have I 
taken it in the Adirondacks where I have collected in ground 
very similar to that near Profile Lake. 
Since writing the above I have examined ;m Arvicola chrotor- 
rhinus taken at Trouser's Lake, N. B., October 7, 1893, by Mr. 
C. P. Rowley. This specimen ( 9 No. f ff^ American museum of 
natural history) considerably extends the range of the species. 
Mr. Rowley says it was trap])ed in deep mossy spruce woods.

16. EvoTOMYS GAPPERi (Vigors). 
We secured an immature red-backed mouse, probably refei-able 
to the common Canadian species, at Profile Lake, July 19, 1893. 
Mr. Bolles found this mouse in all suitable localities near 
Chocorua.
