the Thoreau Log.
31 May 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  A.M.—To Island . . .

  P.M.—To Laurel Glen.

  I see, running along on the flat side of a railroad rail on the causeway, a wild mouse with an exceedingly long tail. Perhaps it would be called the long-tailed meadow mouse . . .

  At 5 P.M., go to see a gray squirrel’s nest in the oak at the Island point . . .

(Journal, 10:449-451)
