Concern over the correct identification of other northern marginal range records of P. polionotus in Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama (see Schwartz 1954, Golley 1966, Wolfe and Rogers 1969, Hall 1981) prompted an examination of these specimens as well. We are satisfied that specimens reported from Jackson County, in extreme northeastern Alabama (Schwartz 1954, Hall and Kelson 1959, Hall 1981) are P.

Similarly, specimens from Greenville and Spartanburg counties South Carolina referred to by Schwartz (1954), Golley (1966), and Hall (1981) are correctly identified as P. polionotus. Review of currently available distributional records for P. polionotus in Georgia now indicates the northernmost limit of its range should be amended to extend from Spartanburg and Greenville counties, South Carolina, southwest to Clarke County, Georgia, and west to Dawson and Cherokee counties, Georgia. Unfortunately, there are no records available for the Ridge and Valley or Cumberland Plateau provinces of Georgia west of Dawson and Cherokee counties (Fig. 1). The next records to the northwest are in Jackson County, Alabama (Hall 1981).. Fig. 1 Distribution of Peromyscus gossypinus (a) and P. polionotus (b) in Georgia.
