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.
