This species may with great propriety be called an inhabitant of theLow Countries, as it is seldom or never met with even in the vicinity ofthe mountains intersecting the districts in which it usually resides. It isalso confined to that portion of our country usually known under the nameof the Southern States, seldom reaching farther eastward than NorthCarolina, or farther inland than the State of Mississippi, in which latter, aswell as in Louisiana, it appears only during the winter months. Its chiefresidence may, therefore, be looked upon as the Floridas, Georgia, and theCarolinas. In these States, it is seen along the fences and bushes about therice plantations, at all seasons, and is of some service to the planter, as itdestroys the field-mice in great numbers, as well as many of the larger kindsof grubs and insects
