forefeet, pointed nose, small eyes and silken fur are too well 

 known to require further description. 



Star-nose Mole, Covdylura cnstata Linn. 



Found in damp places in tlie Canadian and Transition zones. I 

 collected one specimen on the bank of Big Run, Pendleton coun- 

 ty, and saw one other near Osceola in June, 1908. Dr. John L. 

 Sheldon, of the West Virginia University, caught a specimen near? 

 MorgantowTi a few years ago. 



This mole is darker in color than the other two described and 

 lias a peculiar formation of radiating filaments on the nose which 

 gives the species its name. 



Little Brown Bat, Myotis hicifugiis LeC. 



Common in all parts of West Virginia. Apparently very little 

 collecting of bats has been engaged in in this State, and the pub- 

 lished notes in regard to their distribution here are very meager. 

 I have found this species abundant at French Creek and Morgan- 

 town. 



Say's Bat, Myotus subulaius Say. 



Two specimens of this bat were collected at Aurora by Dr. C. 

 Hart Merriam, of the L^. S. Biological Survey. 



Silver-haired Bat, Lasionycterls noctivagans LeC. 



This bat is distributed from the Atlantic to the Pacific but pro- 

 bably does not breed south of the Transition zone. Surber lists 

 it from the forests of the State. 



Georgian Bat, PipistreUus suhflavus Cuv. 



Surber says this species is very common in some sections.

Brown Bat, Vespertilio fxiscus Beau. 



Found in all parts of the United States south of the Boreal 

 zones. Surber reports it as common.
