Fig. 1. Known distribution of Condylura cristata in North Carolina. 

 Solid dots indicate localities documented by specimens in curated collections. 

 Open circles indicate literature records or sight records not supported 

 by specimens. A single dot or circle may represent two or more records 

 in close proximity. A "C" indicates a literature record, not supported 

 by a specimen, for which only the county and no further information 

 was given. Question marks accompany records for which no specimen 

 was observed, or which are unverifiable or otherwise questionable.
