Abstract

From October, 1951, until April, 1954, several collecting trips were made in Georgia and a few immediate areas for the purpose of live trapping Neotoma to use in breeding experiments. This has also resulted in some clarification of statewide distribution. This particular region well represents the southeastern forms since N. magister Baird, N. floridana floridana (Ord), and N. floridana haematoreia Howell all occur within the state. It is interesting to note that a definite hiatus exists between these populations. N. floridana floridana occurs throughout most of the Coastal Plain but is never seen much above the Fall Line in Georgia. N. floridana haematoreia occurs in the Appalachian Mountains where they extend into the northeast portion of the state. N. magister occurs on the Lookout Plateau (Appalachian Plateau Province) in the Dade County area.
