 description: 1688 and tW?- I^yon and Osgood (U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 62: 

 244, Jan. 28, 1909') regarded No. 1688, an alcoholic specimen with skull inside, 

 as the type. Preble (Proe. Biol. Soc. Washington 23: 102, June 24, 1910) 

 showed that 1688 is a specimen of Sorex cinereus. He therefore regarded' 

 the skull on which Baird based his description, No. 1783, as the type. In 

 revising the shrews, Jackson, North Amer. Fauna 51 : 203, July 24, 1928^ 

 formally designated the skin and skull No. yVrr as lectotype.
