Transcription Notes:
Reviewed. Edited Arvieolae to Arvicolae as Vernon frequenly writes his c's shaped as e's. This also aligns to this genus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvicola - see mention of north american species. -@siobhanleachman Reviewed. Added back in [[end page]] as requested in the instructions.
