September 5, eleven were taken in tall sedges in a beaver 

 meadow near Gogebic Lake, Ontonagon County. 



An adult female trapped at Mud Lake. July 30, contained 

 five large embrj^os. There were two pairs of inguinal and one 

 pair of abdominal mammae. Another adult female trapped in 

 the same place, July 22, had two pairs of inguinal mammae, 

 but no abdominal mammae were found. 



The latter individual was moulting, patches of new fur 

 having replaced the old on the top of the head midway between 

 the ears and eyes, between the shoulders, and on the rump. 

 The other female mentioned above, taken July 30, had nearly 

 completed her moult. 



Only two specimens have been previously recorded from 

 Michigan, one from Alger County and the other from Chip- 

 pewa County.-

September i a marsh shrew was trapped in the tall sedges 

 of a beaver meadow near Gogebic Lake, Ontonagon County, 

 ^lost of the body had been eaten by some carnivore. Other 

 specimens were taken on each of the two succeeding days, 

 and a fourth on September 5. 



The first specimen taken was trapped eight feet from a tiny 

 stream which ilowed through the marshy sedges. Two of the 

 others were taken on the muddy bank of the stream near the 

 water's edge, and the fourth about 35 feet from the water. 

 All were secured within a radius of 35 feet. 



This species has been recorded but once previously from 

 Michigan, from Chippewa County.'
