Microtus xanthognathus (LEACH), YELLOW-NOSED VOLE, was re- 

 corded by Lapham from Wisconsin (Trans. Wis. State Agr. Soc., II, 

 1852 (1853), p. 340), but the record was based on Hoy's notes and is 

 undoubtedly an error. The known range of this species extends from 

 Alberta, Canada, north and west to the Arctic coast and Alaska.
