MYOTIS SUBULATUS KEENII (Meriiam). 



1895. VesperiiHo sttbuJatus Iceenii Merriam, American Naturalist, XXIX, p. 860, iSep- 

 tember 1, 1895. 



Tyiw locality. — Massett, Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia. 

 Type in U. S. i^^ational Museum (Biological Survey collection). Adult 

 $ , ^o. 72922 (ill alcohol). 



Oeographic distribution. — Myotis subulatus lieenii is at present known 

 from the type locality only. It doubtless occurs throughout most of 

 the humid northwest coast district. 



General characters. — About the size of typical Myotis subulatus ^ but 

 with longer tail and ears; color much darker than in true subulatus. 



Ears. — The ears of M. subulatus keenii (tig. 13 b) average distinctly 

 longer than those of typical subulatus from the eastern United States, 

 but do not ditfer in form. 



Fur and color. — Tlie fur appears to be longer than in true svbulatus, 

 and considerably darker in color, but with alcoholic specimens only for 

 comparison it is impossible to determine the degree of difference 

 between the two forms. Membranes and ears blackish. 



Measurements. — See table below. 



Specimens examined. — Total number 3, all from the type locality. 



General remarks. — Myotis subulatus keenii is a well-marked race, char- 

 acterized, like the other bats of the humid northwest coast district, by 

 darkness of color. In addition to its color differences it has longer ears 

 than its eastern representative, in this respect showing much the same 

 variatiou as BI. lucifugus alascensis.
