CONDYLURA CRISTATA (Linnaeus): Star-nosed Mole 



On June 13, 1937, a desiccated mole was picked up by W. M. 

 Perrygo and Carleton Lingebach at their camp on the edge of the 

 rhododendron bog at Shady Valley. Audubon and Bachman (1851, 

 vol. 2, p. 142) refer to this mole's occurrence in the State as follows: 

 "To the west we have traced it in Ohio and the northern parts of 

 Tennessee."

Family SORICTDAE 

 SOREX CINEREUS CINEREUS Kerr: Cinereous, or Masked, Shrew 



The range of this masked shrew in Tennessee seems to be re- 

 stricted to the eastern mountainous portion of the State. Ehoads 

 (1896, p. 202) writes that the burrows of this shrew "were found 

 under decaying logs and large stones in moist places along the bridle 

 path leading directly from Cloudland to the Doe River Valley," Car- 

 ter County. Two were taken in September 1937, at an altitude of 

 6,200 feet in moss at the base of fir trees in the forest on the summit of 

 Roan Mountain. Masked shrews were trapped by A. H. Howell in 

 a spruce and fir forest near the summit of the ridge at Indian Gap. 

 On the summit of Old Black Mountain, these shrews were caught in 

 runways in damp moss at the base of fir trees. Masked shrews appear 

 to be generally distributed throughout the wooded ridges of the 

 Great Smoky Mountains National Park. They have been recorded 

 from the Buck Fork of Little Pigeon River, Dry Sluice, and Mount 

 Guyot in Sevier County by Komarek and Komarek (1938, p. 146). 



In tabulating a series of 17 skulls from Roan Mountain, N. C, it 

 was found that 14 have the third and fourth unicuspids subequal, 

 3 have the third unicuspid smaller than the fourth, and 1 has the 

 fourth unicuspid larger than the third. In the case of 11 skulls 

 from New York (8 from Montauk Point, Suffolk County, and 3 from 

 Mountain View, Franklin County), 5 have the third and fourth uni- 

 cuspids subequal and 6 have the fourth unicuspid larger than the 

 third.
