mals could hardly occur in terrestrial forms, but only among 

 animals with the powers of flight. 



My former note-^ casting doubt on the record of the occur- 

 rence of the rice rat, Oryzomys palustris Harlan, at Neosho 

 Falls, was the result of an error of judgment on my part. As 

 the species is an inhabitant of salt marshes near the sea coast, 

 I did not understand how it could inhabit places so far inland. 

 Recently Howard H. Howell, of the Biological Survey, has taken 

 specimens of the typical Oryzomys palustris in many localities, 

 in Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Missouri, and there is, 

 therefore, no reason to doubt that it also ranges into Kansas, 

 and that the Goss specimen in the National Museum was 

 actually taken at Neosho Falls. 



The two additional moles and the bat herein recorded bring 

 the number of mammals on the Kansas list to ninety-one.
