November 15 he was 105 feet south of the November 8 location; on November 16, he had moved 70 feet north. On November 17 he had moved 900 feet back south, but had returned on the 18th to the November 16 location. On November 22, he had again shifted 900 feet south. All capture sites were at the hilltop outcrop. (9.) This male was caught as a juvenile (75 grams) on October 8, 1950. On November 9 he had moved 220 feet, from the lower outcrop to the upper, and he was recaptured at or near this same site on November 10, 28 and 29, and on January 11 and February 9, 1951. On November 21, 1951, grown to maximum adult size, he was caught at a new location 1080 feet from the original. (10.) This male was caught as a subadult twice at the same place on November 30 and December 14. By the following autumn he had shifted to a new location 180 feet south along the outcrop, and he was caught there on September 22 and October 18, 1951, and on January 20 and February 2, 1952. _Females_ (11.) This female was captured 27 times over a span of 211 days. She moved back and forth considerably between two houses 40 feet apart but made only one substantial movement of 245 feet; at this time she was in breeding condition. Nearly seven months after the first capture she was seen for the last time only 16 feet from the original site of capture. It was assumed she fell prey to spotted skunks which were raiding traps. (12.) First captured on March 24, 1951, she remained on the area 105 days in which period she was live-trapped 25 times. Sixty per cent of the total captures were at the same house and the longest movement recorded was only 56 feet. She was last caught in a trap 25 feet from the site of original capture. (13.) This young adult remained at her house at the rock fence approximately four months. In this period she was captured 11 times. On March 16, 1952, she had moved 410 feet to a house at the eastern section of outcrop, probably searching for a male. She was never seen again. (14.) This subadult female moved from the site of original capture to a house 253 feet away on the same outcrop. She was probably in search of a new home when caught the first time. She was recorded at another house 40 feet away on one
