Cuyahoga, Richland and other counties, and if the facts were 

 known I suspect it occurs throughout northern Ohio, at least 

 wherever suitable conditions are to be found. 



The hairy-tailed or Brewer mole, Parascolops breweri, is 

 abundant in some parts of eastern Ohio where its injuries to lawns 

 and gardens compare favorably with the work of the prairie 

 mole in the western part of the state. Records of the occurrence 

 of the species are at hand from Cuyahoga, Summit, Franklin and 

 Adams counties which so far as known marks what has been con- 

 sidered somewhere near the western limit of the range of the species, 

 although recently Hahn mentions it in his Mammals of Indiana 

 and says that the occurrence in that state is not beyond the range 

 of possibilities. I would like to know of any records which extend 

 the known distribution of this mole westward from the line 

 indicated by the comities named. 



It develops therefore that the known records of Ohio moles 

 give each species a somewhat definite distribution in the state 

 and that so far no locaHty is known to have all three although two 

 are known from \^arious places.
