Itinerary. — In the last three years I have made three collecting 
trips in Florida and Georgia. On the first of these I spent all my 
time, from January 30 to March 9, 1895, at Oak Lodge, on the east 
peninsula, opposite Micco, Brevard County, Florida, collecting four 
hundred and hfty-five mammals. All but a few of these were taken 
in the immediate vicinity of Oak Lodge. A small number, com¬ 
paratively, were collected at Micco on the opposite side of the 
Indian River. This large collection contained enormous series of 
O 
the commoner species, which have proved of great value as showing 
the range of individual variation at one place, and of variations with 
age, etc. 
In 1896, I went to St. Mary’s, Georgia, and spent the time from 
March 9 to April 19 collecting in the immediate vicinity of that 
quaint old city, my principal object being to find out how far north 
the Florida forms extended. In this I was partly successful, 
although I soon saw that a more extended tour along the coast of 
northern Florida and Georgia was necessary. While at St. Mary’s, 
I did some collecting both on Cumberland Island, and at Rose Bluff 
on the Florida side of the St. Mary’s River. The smaller mammals 
were scarce in this region and collecting was very laborious, and I 
made but one hundred and fifty-seven skins. 
In the winter of 1897, I made a more extended trip in Florida, 
spending less time at any one place and visiting many different 
localities. The first two weeks (February 4 to 17) I spent at Point 
Matanzas, collecting at Carterville on the main land across the 
Matanzas River, on Point Matanzas, and on Anastasia Island — to 
the mammalogist one of the most interesting spots in Florida. 
Three mammals, a mole and two white-footed mice, that I took 
there prove to be insular species confined to Anastasia Island. At 
Carterville I collected, among other things, a large series of Geomys 
that can be considered topotypes of G. jloridanus. I then went to 
Oak Lodge again, remaining only a few days. And then to Eau 
Gallie, where I stopped a week, devoting most of my time to trapping 
Geomys from the large colony there ; this colony of G. jloridanus 
is probably the southernmost of any size existing. From Eau Gallie 
I proceeded to Gainesville, where I stayed from March 20 to April 6, 
principally for the purpose of getting topotypes of the species 
described by Chapman, namely, the Florida mole, the old-field 
mouse, Chapman’s rice-field mouse, and the big-eared Florida deer 
mouse, all of which I secured.
