Excerpt from Preliminary List of the Mammals of New York After De Kay, the first writer to deal extensively with the mammals of New York was Dr C. Hart Merriam, who issued two volumes on the mammals Of the Adirondack region in 1882 and 1884. At about the same time he published several short special papers which, together with the volumes just mentioned, give the results of 15 years' field work in northern New York. It is not surprising therefore to find recorded in this short period as many additions to the mammalian fauna of the state as were made during the preceding 40 years. The species added to the New York list by Merriam at this time are: Soz'uropz'orus mamas macrotz's, ' Canadian flying squirrel ('84d, p. 108) Sorox/umous,2 smoky shrew (784d, p. And Tamz'czs sfrz'az'us {ysz'orz} northeastern Chipmunk p. This number appears small in view of the fact that more than twice as many species have since been added to the New York list from the Adirondack region alone. It is, however, a good illustration of the futility of even the most determined efforts, unaided by the methods of collecting afterward perfected chiefly by Dr Merriam himself.
