BANGS : LAND MAMMALS OF FLORIDA AND GEORGIA. 233 
is uncertain; Mr. Brown did not get a weasel on his trip, nor could 
he hear of one anywhere in Georgia. 
I believe no additional specimens have been taken since my 
record (Proc. Biol. soc. Wash., 1896, vol. 10, p. 10). 
Urocyon cinereoargenteus floridanus Rhoads. 
Urocyon cinereoargenteus floridanus Rhoads, Proc. Acad. nat. 
sci. Phila., 1895, p. 42. 
Type locality. Tarpon Springs, Florida. 
The Florida gray fox is a common animal in most parts of 
Florida and extends north over, probably, the whole of eastern 
Georgia, with the likelihood that it intergrades with true U. cinereo¬ 
argenteus somewhere in northern Georgia. One that Mr. Brown 
took at Barrington, Georgia (No. 6, 421, $ adult), is scarcely dif¬ 
ferent from Florida specimens. 
The Florida form differs from true U. cinereoargenteus in being 
considerably smaller and much paler in color, the rusty markings 
are yellower, and the white markings on legs and under parts more 
yellowish and less purely white. The pelage is shorter and harsher.

I have specimens from Barrington, Georgia, and Citronelle and 
Micco, Florida. 
Canis ater (Richardson) 4 
Canis lupus occidentalis var. E. Lupus ater Rich., Fauna Bor.- 
Amer., 1829, p. 70. 
1 It seems to me that Richardson’s name ater must stand for the dark-colored wolf of 
Florida; for though Richardson mentioned specimens from Canada, the Mackenzie and 
Saskatchewan rivers, etc., which are of course black individuals of the northern wolf, 
at the end of his article he says, “ It is reported to be plentiful in Florida where accord¬ 
ing to Bartram, the females are distinguished by a white spot on the breast.” Moreover, 
Audubon and Bachman (Quad. North Amer., vol. 2, p. 12C) limit the name to the southern 
animal.
