Warden's United States, i. p. 885. t The a. empetra, or Qudjec marmot, requires correction as to references. Four specimens have been described under this name by authors, but as Mr. Sabine (Franklin's Journey, Appendix, p. 668) has justly remarked, there is so much discrepancy in the descriptions, that they cannot be all referred to the same species with any certainty. A specimen in the Museum of the University of Edinburgh, sent from Canada by the Earl of Dalhousie, although of smaller size, agrees in othei- respects with the one described in the Linnean Transactions by Mr. Sabine. Desmarest CMamm. No. 526,J mentions that three individuals of this species, had been recently sent to Paris from New York. t The a. pruinosa is known only by Pennant's short description of a specimen in the Leverian Museum, and the characters he has given, with the exception of the fur of the abdomen being hoary, are all referrible to the a.
