, 1929:21) to _T. s. griseus_
and by Lyon (_loc. cit._) to _T. s. fisheri_. Although the specimen is
much faded and cannot be identified with certainty, we assign it to _T.
s. ohionensis_. Allowing for fading, it seems to resemble _ohionensis_
more in the lighter color of the anterior part of the median dorsal
stripe, than it does either _griseus_ or _fisheri_. We are also
influenced in making this allocation by Bole and Moulthrop's (_op.
cit._:137) finding intergradation between _T. s. ohionensis_ and _T. s.
striatus_ in a specimen obtained at New Harmony, Posey Co., Indiana.

Howell (Jour. Mamm., 13:166, August 9, 1932) referred two specimens from
Boone County, Indiana, to _T. s. fisheri_. We have examined a specimen
(5675 AMNH) from that place and think it is one of the two seen by
Howell. The specimen is a poorly made skin in worn winter pelage with
the skull inside. Because it differs from _T. s. fisheri_ and agrees
with _T. s. ohionensis_ in the color of both upper parts and underparts
(comparisons made with material of comparable stage of molt), we assign
it to the latter subspecies. Howell (_loc. cit._) referred specimens
from Overton (57394), Wooster (57398, 57399, and 57442), and Loudonville
(57391-57393), all from Ohio, in the Museum of Zoology of the University
of Michigan, to _Tamias striatus fisheri_. We have examined these
specimens and find them to be readily separable from _T. s. rufescens_
on the basis of darker coloration. The affinities of the specimens in
question are with _T. s. fisheri_ and _T. s. ohionensis_. As a standard
for comparison we have used specimens in the Museum of Zoology,
University of Michigan, in comparable pelage of _T. s. ohionensis_ from
Dearborn County, Indiana, taken in August and specimens of _T. s.
fisheri_ from "near" summit Butt Mtn. and Little Meadows, both places in
Giles County, Virginia, as well as two specimens from Allair, Monmouth
County, New Jersey. On the basis of buffy (instead of white) edging of
the tail, buffy (not white) light dorsal stripes, and buffy (not black)
anterior third of the median dark stripe, the specimens from Overton,
Wooster, and Loudonville are referred to _Tamias striatus ohionensis_.

A. H. Howell (N. Amer. Fauna, 29:16, November 30, 1929) recorded six
