ALLEN: BATS OF THE GENUS CORYNORHINUS. 341 
valid, and if substantiated, would fix nearly the northern limit for 
the species in the east. It is not known that the genus ranges farther 
north than Virginia on the eastern side of the Alleghanies, though to 
the westward of that range its presence at a more northerly latitude 
is well known. 
Specimens examined.— Eight from the following localities: 
Virginia: Burke’s Garden, 4 (Biol. Surv.). 
Kansas: Sun City, 2 (Biol. Surv.). 
Colorado: 12 miles south of Lyons, Boulder Co., 1 intermediate 
(Univ. of Colo.); Crisman, Boulder Co., 1 intermediate (Univ. of 
Colo.). 
Additional locality records, probably referring to this bat, are: 
Indiana, Greencastle (Putnam Co.) (see Cory, 1912, p. 476); Ken- 
tucky, Bowling Green (Miller, 1897).

Type.— Skin and skull 65534, U. S. N. M. (Biological Survey Col- 
' lection), adult female, collected 3 August, 1894, by A. K. Fisher. 
Type Locality— Arizona: Navajo County, Keam Canyon. 
Distribution.— Western United States from western Texas, Colo- 
rado, and southwestern South Dakota, to the Pacific coast of southern 
California. Typical pallescens may yet be found to occur in northern 
Mexico, but none have been examined from there. 
General Characters.— Similar to typical megalotis but slightly 
smaller; colors paler, more buffy throughout. 
Color.— Adult: no sharp contrast in color between bases and tips 
of hair, General effect of an average specimen (Prescott, Ariz.)
