Feb., 1912. Mammals of Illinois and Wisconsin — Cory. 461 



Type locality — Arkansas River near La Junta, Colorado. 

 Distribution — North America, from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mount- 

 ains, north to northern Quebec and Manitoba and south to Georgia. 

 Description — Size small; color similar to M. lucifugus; general color 

 dull brown (variable in shade), under parts paler; 

 fur often tipped with pale cinnamon brown or brown- 

 ish buff; ears when laid forward extending clearly 

 beyond end of nose; tragus slender, bent slightly back- 

 ward or straight. 

 Measurements — Total length, about 3.40 in, (80 to 90 mm.); tail, 



1.45 in. (37 mm.); foot, .32 in. (8 mm.). 

 Remarks — This species resembles M. lucifugus, but may be distin- 

 guished by its longer ears and more pointed tragus. 

 The range of this species includes the whole of Illinois and Wisconsin, 

 but so far as known the only actual records for either state are given 

 by Miller; one from Chicago, Illinois, and the other from Bayfield, 

 Wisconsin. It is probably not uncommon, but has been overlooked 

 on account of its general resemblance to M. lucifugus. The species 

 is included in lists of Wisconsin mammals by both Lapham and Strong,
