_Mammals and Birds of Mount Rainier National Park_, 1927, as follows:
Muskrat, _Ondatra zibethicus osoyoosensis_ (Lord). “In lower portions
of the park; apparently now trapped out within its
boundaries.”
Norway Rat, _Rattus norvegicus norvegicus_ (Erxleben). “Here included
on the authority of J. B. Flett, who has observed it at
Longmire.”

scarce, perhaps extirpated.”
