Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Pocket List of the Mammals of Eastern Massachusetts: With Special Reference to Essex County
In this list I have made no attempt at full description. Most of the species I have either described in part or com pared with others to render identification easy. I have included in it several species which, although they have not been actually taken within the county limits, doubtless live here. It is hoped that this list may create an interest in the Essex County collection, and that it may be the means of adding many new specimens to the mu seum. A list of desiderata is added at the end of this list, and any specimens therein named will be very gratefully received and acknowledged.
In the making of this list I am greatly indebted to Dr. Glover M. Allen for his kindness in looking it over and for many helpful suggestions and to Professor E. S. Morse for revising manuscript.
