 by Edmund Heller, They comprise 26 insoctivores, 7 bats, and 81 

 carnivores.

 or subspecies in the present paper. 



LIST OF LOCALITIES. 



A list of all the localities from which National Museum specimens 

 of insectivores, bats, and carnivores are mentioned in this report 

 is given below, with index references to the accompanying map. 

 (Plate 1.) Only a few of these places are marked on the map itself, 

 but it will not be difficult to place with reasonable accuracy each 

 locality mentioned. Maps of this region do not agree in essential 

 details. A large collection of maps of all degrees of accuracy, in- 

 cluding official sectional maps, as well as the collectors' catalogues 

 and journals, have been used in this work. It is believed that each 

 locality has been defined with fair accuracy, but slight mistakes 

 have no doubt been made in the original manuscript map and there- 

 fore in the following dictionary. For general purposes this will not 

 cause much amioyance, as the variations can be only of a com- 

 paratively few miles at the most, and amount to little on so small a 

 map. There has never been any doubt about the approximate 

 location of a given place, but owing to the great disagreement among 

 maps, even of the better sort, it has been almost impossible to de- 

 termine the localities with precision.
