NEW STATE RECORD OF THE PRAIRIE VOLE

The specimens of prairie vole, _Microtus ochrogaster_, listed above from

the sedges and rushes of cleared upland in the Warren Woods preserve and

from a nearby wheat field constitute the first authentic record of the

species from Michigan. The prairie vole had previously been erroneously

reported to be abundant in Washtenaw County by Covert[2], who evidently

mistook the Pennsylvania vole for this species.
