ALLEN: BATS OF THE GENUS CORYNORHINUS. 341 



valid, and if substantiated, would fix nearly the northern limit for 

 the species in the east. It is not known that the genus ranges farther 

 north than Virginia on the eastern side of the Alleghanies, though to 

 the westward of that range its presence at a more northerly latitude 

 is well known. 



Specimens examined. — Eight from the following localities : 



Virginia: Burke's Garden, 4 (Biol. Surv.). 



Kansas: Sun City, 2 (Biol. Surv.). 



Colorado: 12 miles south of Lyons, Boulder Co., 1 intermediate 

 (Univ. of Colo.); Crisman, Boulder Co., 1 intermediate (Univ. of 

 Colo.). 



Additional locality records, probably referring to this bat, are: 

 Indiana, Greencastle (Putnam Co.) (see Cory, 1912, p. 476); Ken- 

 tucky, Bowling Green (Miller, 1897).

Type. — Skin and skull 65534, U. S. N. M. (Biological Survey Col- 

 lection), adult female, collected 3 August, 1894, by A. K. Fisher. 



Type Locality. — Arizona: Navajo County, Keam Canyon. 



Distribution. — Western United States from western Texas, Colo- 

 rado, and southwestern South Dakota, to the Pacific coast of southern 

 California. Typical pallescens may yet be found to occur in northern 

 Mexico, but none have been examined from there. 



General Characters. — Similar to typical megalotis but slightly 

 smaller; colors paler, more buffy throughout. 



Color. — Adult: no sharp contrast in color between bases and tips 

 of hair. General effect of an average specimen (Prescott, Ariz.)
