Abstract

FOR years, naturalists have been familiar in a general way with the aptitude shown by the American grey squirrel for colonising parts of Britain, with the controversy regarding the harmfulness or otherwise of its habits, and the allegation that it has driven the native red squirrel before it. Never before, however, has an attempt at all comparable with that of Mr. A. D. Middleton * been made to collect all the facts regarding this undesirable alien before passing judgment upon it. The paper also contains information relating to the fluctuations and decline of the red squirrel in Great Britain, so important that this species, too, might well have shared a place in the title.
