A SECOND RECORD OF NYCTINOMUS DEPRESSUS FOR IOWA. 



On October 21, 1914, a curious bat was captured alive in the high school 

 building at Marshalltown, Iowa. An attempt to keep it alive was unsuc- 

 cessful. The skin, however, was saved and later sent to Mr. Charles B. 

 Cory of the Field Museum, who identified it as Nyctinomus depressus 

 Ward. The only previous record for the State is the one secured by Dr. 

 B. H. Bailey at Cedar Rapids, Iowa (Cory, Mammals of Illinois and 

 Wisconsin, p. 477). Securing a second bat of this species is of additional 

 interest in view of the fact that there are no other records, known to the 

 writer, of its occurrence east of Colorado.

A CHANGE OF NAME FOR AN ARIZONA MISTLETOE. 

 The genus Razoumofskya is widely distributed in the western United 

 States and is represented by numerous species. Most of these seem to be 

 confined each to some particular coniferous tree. Since the plants usually 

 grow high up on large trees, they are often overlooked, consequently it is 

 not surprising that new species are found occasionally. The most recently 

 described species, parasitic upon Pinus strobiformis Engelm., is known 

 only from southern Arizona. It was described as Arceuthobium blumeri 

 A. Nels.,* but since the generic name Arceuthobium Bieb. (1819) is ante- 

 dated by Razoumofskya Hoffm. (1808), the plant should be known as 

 Razoumofskya blumeri (A. Nels.) Standley.
