During a study of small mammal movements at Pine Hill, Argenteuil County (45°44'N, 74°29'W), Quebec, four Southern Flying Squirrels, Glaucomys volans, were captured in Sherman traps on a 0.9-ha sample plot between 19 and 26 October 1976.The trap-site was a well drained, mature beech-maple (Acer-Fagus) forest, which supports the highest populations of G. volans in Canada (Banfield 1974).Previous records from Quebec include one specimen collected south of the Ottawa River at Hudson, Vaudreuil County, and four specimens from Gatineau County northwest of Hull (Youngman and Gill 1968).Three of the squirrels were marked and set free.The fourth was retained as a specimen in the Vanier College Museum of Natural Science (VCMNS -301).External measurements in millimetres were 224, 91, 29, 20; weight was 55 g and the testes were abdominal.abdominal.
