BLARINA BREVICAUDA CAROLINENSIS (Bachman): Carolina Short- 

 tailed Shrew, or Mole-shrew 



Jtihoads (1896, p. 202) found that the southern mole-shrew was 

 present "in the bottom lands of west Tennessee both in the open and 

 in deep swampy woods." He collected specimens at Samburg on the 

 shore of Reelfoot Lake and in the bottom lands of Wolf River near 

 Raleigh, Shelby County. Rhoads also lists specimens from Belle- 

 view in Davidson County, Sawyers Springs on Walden Ridge in 

 Hamilton County, and Harriman in Roane County. 



At Hickory Withe the National Museum party trapped these 

 blarinas in runways under matted leaves on tussocks on cypress 

 knees in the swamp as well as in the canebrake, at Frankewing under 

 matted leaves alongside rotten logs in deciduous woods, and also on 

 a dry hillside in deciduous woods 8 miles north of Waynesboro. 



The short-tailed shrews collected in southern and western Ten- 

 nessee average somewhat smaller than the eastern series. The aver- 

 age measurements of three males are as follows: Total length, 98.3 

 (85-112); tail, 19 (17-22); hind foot, 12.6 (11-14). For three 

 females the average measurements are: Total length, 96.3 (85-109) ; 

 tail, 19.6 (18-22); hind foot, 11.5 (11-12.5). These measurements 

 correspond rather closely with those that are considered typical of 

 the subspecies carolinensis. The average measurements of 15 males 

 from localities in South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama are as 

 follows: Total length, 97.7 (94-110); tail, 18.8 (15-21); hind foot, 

 12 (11-13). For 10 females from the same States the average meas- 

 urements are: Total length, 95 (86-103); tail, 19.9 (17-25); hind 

 foot, 12 (11-13).

MYOTIS GRISESCENS Howell: Gray, or Howell's, Bat 



Several thousand of these bats were found by Mohr (1933, pp.
