Mule Deer Record For Minnesota, Harvey L. Gunderson

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

During the hunting season of 1947, Leonard Nygren shot a deer near Pillager, Cass County, Minnesota. The deer, which weighed 153 pounds dressed, was disqualified in a sportsman's contest because it was not considered a white-tailed deer, according to a newspaper report. The report was investigated and the animal in question was identified as a mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus. This extends the known range of this deer in Minnesota nearly 100 miles to the east.

A Study Of The Geographical And Ecological Distribution Of The Buffy Plains Pocket Mouse (Perognathus Flavescens Flavescens), With Description Of A New Subspecies From Nebraska, Myron H. Swenk

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The Buffy Plains Pocket-mouse (Perognathus flavescens flavescens) is a typical mammal of the Sandhill Region of Nebraska. Its home, like that of other species of pocket-mice, is a series of burrows in the ground, consisting of several entrance holes leading to the main 'burrow, in which is located the nest and the food storage chambers. In the Nebraska sandhills its burrows and nests are commonly placed beneath clumps of Spanish Bayonet or Prickly Pear Cactus, and the entrance holes usually are so distributed as to open from under the plant in all directions.

The writer had hoped to …

A Study Of Subspecific Variation In The Yellow Pocket-Gopher (Geomys Lutescens) In Nebraska, And Of The Geographical And Ecological Distribution Of The Variants, Myron H. Swenk

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

The Yellow Pocket-Gopher (Geomys lutescens) was described by Merriam (14) in 1890, as a paler and smaller subspecies of Geomys bursarius, based on "numerous specimens received from the Sand Hills of western Nebraska", and especially upon an adult Cjl type specimen (No. 23595, U. S. N. M.) collected in the sandhills along Birdwood Creek, Lincoln County, Nebraska, May 27, 1889, by A. B. Baker. Although even as late as 1931 Scheffer (17) classified Geomys lutescens as a subspecies of G. bursarius, it is without doubt specifically distinct from G. bursarius. In all of its variations …
