SHORT-TAILED SHREW (Bilarina brevicauda). 
~ Minnesoza.—Elk River, Sherburne County, 1887: Common ; they often get into 
cellars and prove troublesome. Ortonville, June, 1887: Numerous all along the 
5 little spring brooks ; caught one on the high prairie ; baited them with cheese, which

have always found them living in holes in creek banks; in the spring of 1886a 
neighbor caught and gave me one that he found swimming in a small pond of snow

BLACK-BACKED SHREW (Sorex [ forsteri ?]). 
_ Minnesota.—Elk River, Sherburne County, November, 1887. Quite common, but

SMALL SHREW (Sorex [ personatus 7}). 
Minnesota.—Elik River, Sherburne County, 1887: Abundant; live under logs, 
___ Jeaves, and grass, either in woods, meadows, creek banks, or any wild land. They 
___ are always a great pest to settlers who first build in the woods, as they enter barns, 
houses, and especially cellars, gnawing whatever they can find in the shape of meat, 
lard, tallow, butter, or anything of the kind. I learned this by experience some fifteen 
years ago,and have heard the same complaint from others. Cats kill them, but 
I think generally leave them where killed, for they are often found iying around 
dead. Brown’s Valley, Traverse County, June, 1887: Caught oneon the river bank.
