88 NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA. [No. 16. 
Sorex montereyensis Merriam. Monterey Shrew. 
Six specimens of this large long-tail shrew were secured—one at the 
lower edge of the Hudsonian zone, near Mud Creek; four in the Can- 
adian zone, in Mud Creek Canyon; and one in the Transition zone, in 
Squaw Creek Valley, near Warmceastle Soda Springs. 
Sorex (Neosorex) navigator Baird. White-bellied Water-shrew. 
Apparently rather scarce, as a large amount of trapping resulted in 
the capture of only four specimens. These were obtained at as many 
localities, namely, the head of Panther Creek, upper Squaw Creek, 
upper Ash Creek Canyon, and Wagon Camp, all in the Canadian zone. 
Neurotrichus gibbsi major subsp. nov. Large Shrewmole. 
Type trom Carberry Ranch, Shasta County, Calif. (alt. 4,100 {t., between Mts, Shasta 
and Lassen). No. 65321, g ad., U.s. Nat. Mus., Biological Survey Coll. Collected 
May 18, 1894, by C. P. Streator. Orig. No. 3789. 
Characters.—Similar to .V. gibbsi, but decidedly larger; hind feet 
larger; forefeet much broader and longer; tail much longer; under 
parts darker; skull larger and broader; fifth upper lateral tooth (the 
‘large premolar’) decidedly smaller than in V. gibbsi, and possessing a 
distinct anterior cusp on the cingulum, which is absent in gibbsi; fifth 
lower lateral tooth (the ‘large premolar’) decidedly larger than in gibbsi. 
Measurements,—Average of 3 specimens from type locality: Total 
length, 120; tail vertebrie, 40; hind foot, 17. Average of 4 specimens 
from Mount Shasta: Total length, 113; tail vertebriw, 41; hind foot, 
16.2, 
Remarks.—Four specimens of this new form of Gibbs shrewmole 
were collected by our party on Shasta—all in the Canadian zone. 
Three were caught in Mud Creek canyon near the mouth of Clear 
Creek by Walter K. Fisher and W. H. Osgood, and one was taken at 
Wagon Camp by Osgood. In May, 1894, my assistant, Clark P. Streator, 
obtained 3 specimens (the type and cotypes) at Carberry Ranch, on the 
south side of Pitt River, between Mounts Shasta and Lassen. Carberry 
Ranch is in the upper part of the Transition zone. The Canadian 
zone specimens from Shasta are not quite so large, but agree in other 
characters. 
Scapanus californicus (Ayres). California Mole. 
Vernon Bailey found a dead mole of this species, October 3, in the 
road between Wagon Camp and Sisson at an altitude of 4,500 feet. 
Ye reported mole ridges as common in places a little below Wagon 
Camp, and also in sandy soil in the Murray pine belt east of the moun- 
tain; W. H. Osgood saw mole ridges in Shasta Valley. 
Myotis evotis (H. Allen.) Big-eared Bat. 
At Sisson, September 5, R. T. Fisher obtained a specimen from a 
small boy, who caught it in » kitchen. The species doubtless oceurs 
in Shasta Valley also.
