_Type._--Male, adult, skull and skin; no. 9102, coll. of E. A. and
O. Bangs in Mus. Comp. Zoöl.; Bucksport, Hancock County, Maine;
January 15, 1899; obtained by Alvah G. Door but measured and sexed
by O. Bangs.
The skin is well made and in good condition. It is in full, white
winter-dress with black-tipped tail. The skull has the posterior
half of the left zygomatic arch broken away; otherwise the skull
is unbroken and complete. Left I3 and right P3 are missing. The
teeth otherwise all are present and entire.
_Range._--Maine; possibly north locally to south side of St.
Lawrence River in Quebec and possibly occurring in western New
Brunswick. Zonal range Canadian and probably Transition. See
figure 29 on page 221.
_Characters for ready recognition._--Differs from _M. f.
noveboracensis_ by a number of average differences including
larger size, relatively longer tail and relatively wider skull
(see p. 225, and measurements on pp. 418, 419).
_Description._--_Size._--Male: Five adults yield average and
extreme measurements as follows: Total length, 443 (430-465);
length of tail, 163 (154-175); length of hind foot, 50 (47-54).
Tail averages 58 per cent as long as head and body. Length of hind
foot averages more than basal length.
