The Carolina Short-tailed Shrew replaces the northern form, B. 
brevicauda, in southern Illinois, probably intergrading with it in the 
south central part of the state. The Field Museum collection contains 
specimens from Alexander, Pope, Johnson and Hardin counties, and 
Howell records it from the vicinity of Shawneetown, Gallatin Co. (J. ¢., 
p.32.) Its habits, so far as known, are similar to those of B. brevicauda. 
Specimens examined from Illinois: 
Illinois — Olive Branch, Alexander Co., 29 (14 in alcohol); Golconda, 
Pope Co., 3; Reevesville, Johnson Co., 5; Rosiclaire, Hardin Co., 
6=43.
