The Small Mammal Survey 1971 (Curatorial Report # 6)

Abstract

In 1971 the authors collected small mammals throughout Nova Scotia in order to improve the museum collections and acquire specimens and information for an exhibit and publications on the mice and shrews of this province. Altogether, 238 animals were collected and 1839 records of Nova Scotian mammals were obtained from other institutions throughout North America. Ectoparsites collected in this survey for study in Ottawa will contribute significantly to knowledge of fleas and other parasites in the Maritimes.
