Abstract:

Three new specimens of the Northern Bog Lemming (Synaptomys borealis) from Maine and one misidentified record from New Hampshire are reported here. This brings the total specimens of S. borealis for the northeastern United States to seven. The species is not restricted to scarce alpine habitat in this region nor is it unable to coexist with related microtine species. Reasons for its rarity remain obscure.
