NATURE MAGAZINE FOR MAY • 1931 BROWNELL of the forest floor before the camera MEADOW MOUSE LOOKING TIMID One of the smaller denizens poses unwillingly the red-clay hills, the sand belt, and beyond the rolling hills of the Piedmont. Farther west swell the foothills of the Blue Ridge and then the six-thousand-foot mountain peaks—all within the borders of Carolina. Could such a land be other than fascinating? Nor does it fail to hold much of interest in the way of animal life. In the early days of the settlers this province had its buffalo, its elk, panther, wolf, and beaver. Elk and buffalo have long since passed to the Great Beyond, and the others have already followed or are on the very threshold. Two large quadrupeds alone survive, the black or hog bear and the Virginia deer. Although the range of these animals has been greatly reduced, the bear is still to be found in a few areas in the wilder mountains and heavy swamps, while the deer remains abundant in parts of the Carolina Low Country. It is very unfortunate that certain plantation owners, resentful of the damage done by these animals to gardens and flower beds, are killing bucks, does, and fawns. Such action is bad enough in itself but worse in the example thus set for poorer neighbors. Most abundant among the lesser animals is the cottontail. The New England cottontail occurs among the high mountains, but the Eastern cottontail is the familiar animal of the Low Country. Along the coast and well inland along the river swamps the cottontail's water-loving relative, the swamp rabbit, appears. The cottontail is up and away on the first alarm, but this fellow trusts to his ability to lie low and skulk quietly away, or, given the chance, to take to the water and swim to safety with just the top of his head exposed and his ears laid back. One would hesitate even to mention such pests as the house rat and mouse, abundant throughout the civilized world, but for the fact that their more decent, aristocratic relatives, the black and roof rats, are found in and about many of the older seaport and inland towns. Indeed, until fairly recent years the roof rat was the common species over a great part of the region. Only in limited areas do the large, handsome wood- rats occur. In a few mountain localities the Pennsylvania hrbhhhhh . BROWNELL A BUSY CAROLINIAN The gray squirrel is common in both states in the wooded sections L. W. BROWNELL A GENTLEMAN OF MANY PARTS The young cottontail has both New England and southern relatives in Carolina, and is found everywhere wood rat has been found, his presence sometimes betrayed by a rather small pile of sticks at the mouth of some crevice among the rocks. Among the river swamps of the southern third of the coast country, and extending scarcely twenty miles inland, may be encountered small colonies, of perhaps half a dozen nests, of the Florida woodrat. On the ground about old stumps or twenty feet up in the vines thin nests of sticks are built, some several feet in diameter, with two or more openings. Shake one of these nests vigorously and out will flash a large-eyed, soft-furred rat, perhaps a female with several young clinging tightly to her as she climbs higher to safety. For some unknown reason the lowlands of lower Carolina apparently have never known the muskrat. Bachman tells us that he never found it nearer than seventy miles from the coast, and the same condition holds good to-day. One would imagine that the vast, abandoned rice-fields of the coast might support many musk- rats, but such is not the case. Farther inland, however, we will find this animal common in many localities, and in the northeast section of the province exists a large Dismal Swamp race. Over most of the region occurs either the common meadow mouse or its relative, the pine mouse, the first in wet meadows and in the uplands, the other down

Description

Several articles on the Carolinas appear in this 1931 issue of Nature Magazine. The magazine was collected by George Masa. Born Masahara Iizuka and raised in Japan, George Masa (1881-1933) emigrated to the U.S. when he was 20 years old and, in 1915, came to Asheville, where he lived the rest of his life. Masa was active in the Appalachian Trail Club and in the movement to establish the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
