APPENDIX B. 
ALPHABETICAL LIST OF LOCALITIES REFERRED TO IN THE PRECEDING- 
REPORT. 
The following list is intended to explain more fully than could conveniently he done in the 
body of the report, the geographical position and character of the various localities at or near 
which the specimens enumerated were collected. The notices are, however, to he considered as 
only approximately accurate, as they have been compiled very hastily, and without the opportunity 
of consulting any one on the subject. Very few latitudes and longitudes are given exactly, 
with the exception of a few belonging to the military posts, as the object has been, not to 
furnish an accurate table of geographical positions, but merely such an approximation thereto as 
might aid in giving a general idea of the distribution of the species of North American mammals. 
The principal works used in preparing the account of the localities given are as follows:
