. A biological survey of Alabama. I. Physiography and life zones. II. The mammals. Animals Alabama. 66 WORTH AMERICAS' FAUNA. [No. 45 Sciurus niger texianus Bachman. Bachman Fox Squtbeel. Sciurus texianus Bachman, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p, 86, 1838. The Bachman fox squirrel ranges from southern Louisiana through Mississippi and the greater part of Alabama (except the south- eastern counties) to eastern Tennessee (fig. 8). It is a richly colored form, somewhat re- sembling the com- mon fox squirrel of the northern Missis- sippi Valley (rufi- venter), but differ- ing in haying the head black and the nose and ears white. Six specimens from Autaugaville and two from Sand Mountain (near Car- penter) are typical texianus, except that one from the latter place has buffy ears; the underparts yary from light ochrace- ous-buff to deep och- raceous-orange; one from Autaugayille is nearly black. One specimen from Jack- son is yery dark, the underparts, legs, tail, and ears being rich tawny, and the back oyerlaid with the same color; another from the same place, however, is of the normal buff color, with buff-tipped ears. Two specimens from Orange Beach and two from Castleberry also have the upperparts rather heavily tinged with tawny. Four specimens from Castleberry are clearly intermediate between texianus and niger, showing more or less gray on the sides. Others from this locality, as already stated, are typical niger.. an$e Beach Fig. 8.—Distribution of fox squirrels in Alabama. 1. Soiurus niger niger. 2. Sciurus niger texianus.
