There is a mounted shrew in the PubUc Museum of the City 
of Milwaukee, a male collected June lo, 1903, in^ Marinette 
County. The specimen is labeled ''A^eosorex alhiharhis" but from 
external characteristics it appears to be palustris. 
Blarina brevicauda (Say). 
Short-tailed Shrew. 
Blarina brevicauda is common in nearly all parts of Wiscon- 
sin, but it is more common in the southern half of the state than 
in the northern half. This species chooses principally grassy fence 
lines and patches of weeds for its habitat. It is not often seen 
during the summer months ; during the winter it seems to ac- 
quire more diurnal habits, and it may frequently be obseryed in 
its runways, especially on w^arm cloudy days. 
Condylura cristata (Linnaeus). 
Star-nosed Mole. 
I haye seen only two specimens of Condylura cristata from 
Wisconsin ; one of these is in the collection of Dr. H. V. Ogden 
and was taken at Mercer, Iron County ; the other specimen was 
taken near Steyens Point, Portage County. We can see no rea- 
son why this species should not occur frequently in northern Wis- 
consin but records haye not established the fact. 
Myotis lucifugus (Le Conte). 
Little Brown Bat. 
Our present knowledge of the distribution of Chiroptera in 
Wisconsin is far from satisfactory. Myotis lucifugus undoubtedly 
has a much wider distribution in the state than our records indi- 
cate ; we haye seen specimens from Dodge, Jefferson, Milwaukee, 
Rock and Waukesha Counties. 
Lasionycteris noctivagans (Le Conte). 
Silver-haired Bat. 
This bat is found chiefly around lakes and water courses in
