 the most northerly poiut at which the species has been found. 



Couper records the presence of the species at Montreal, Canada, and 

 also at the city of Quebec, where he says it is occasionally found.' 



An anonymous writer in the ^aturaliste Canadien cites it as occur- 

 rinj? between the coast of Beani)ro and the He d'Orleans,^ which is in 

 the at. Lawrence Eiver, near Quebec. 



The Department of Agricultnre collection contains a specimen from 

 much farther east, namely, at tiodbout, on the north shore of the St. 

 Lawrence, near its mouth and about 180 miles east of the Saguenay 

 Elver. 



In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick the species is common, accord-

The Condylura pr<islmita of Harris was described from a specimen 

 from Machias, ]\Ie.,'' and in the Sixth Eeport of the Board of Agricnl- 

 tnre of Maine, it is also included among the mammals of that State.^ 



Zadock Thompson considered the species rare in Vermont. He cap-

In Massachnsetts it was obtained in Essex County by Fowler.'' and 

 Emmons and Allen record it as common in the State, but the latter 

 remarks that it is more numerous in the eastern part of the State than 

 elsewhere.^ 



Linsley captured a specimen at Stratford in Connecticut,'" but Morris 

 regards it as not very common in that State." 



Dr. C. C. Abbott records the si)ecies from New Jersey, but remarks 

 that it is not at all abundant, and that it is more frequently met with 

 in the central than in the northern or southern sections of the State.'' 



Turning now to the West, I find that Kirtland, in 1S3S, had seen 

 only one specimen in Ohio." I have examined specimens from three 

 localities in the northern part of the State — Cleveland, Garrettsville, 

 and Ellsworth. A specimen has been sent to the Museum from the
