 Mus., iii., 1903, p. 12, Zoology. 



2 Specimens: Vallecitos, San Pedro Martir Mountains. 



Skunks were very scarce throughout the region, no Mephitis was 

 captured or seen, not even the tracks observed, and the two Spilogale 

 were the only specimens taken. The natives said the polecat also 

 occurred at La Grulla, but no evidence of its presence was discovered 

 at that place. 



ORDER INSECTIVORA. 



fam. soricim:. 



SOREX. 

 Sorex orinus. 



Sorex orinus (misprinted oreinus). Elliot, Pub. Field Columb. 

 Mus., 1903, iii., p. 172, Zoology. 



4 Specimens: 1 Aguaje de Las Fresas, San Pedro Martir Mts.; 

 3 San Quentin, Pacific coast. 



Of this species Mr. Heller says, it " evidently occurs about other 

 streams (besides that at Aguaje de las Fresas) but of rare occur- 

 rence," and about San Quentin it was found "only near the coast in 

 damp meadows." It is undoubtedly a scarce form in the region 

 traversed, only four having been taken in a period of several months 

 duration. 



ORDER CHIROPTERA. 



FAM. VESPERTILIONID^. 



MYOTIS. 

 Myotis* orinomus, Sp. nov. 



Type locality, La Grulla, San Pedro Martir Mountains, 8,000 feet 

 elevation. 



Getil. Char., similar to M. calif ornicus, but larger; color paler; ear 

 larger; skull larger; brain case flatter, less elevated above rostrum; 



*6petvo[ios — dwelling in the mountains.
