THE MAMMALS OF MOUNT MAZAMA. 
where Mr. Bailey caught the type specimen. Pocket Gophers 
abound in the same locality and one was caught in the same runway 
with the Mole. 
At Union Creek, about 15 miles west of Crater Lake and at a 
considerably lower altitude, Mr. Preble found where a Mole had 
burrowed into a decayed log from below, and had penetrated the log 
back and forth in search of insects, pushing out the chips on one side. 
GiBBS' Mole. Neurotrkhus gibbsi, (Baird). 
Tolerably common, but difficult to trap. Specimens were 
obtained at Crater Lake near the head of Anna Creek, on Anna 
Creek, near Pole Bridge Creek, and at Fort Klamath. They were 
secured in a variety of situations. At Crater Lake one was caught 
in a runway in a damp grassy place among small bushes on a steep 
hillside. At Anna Creek one was caught under a log in a dry place, 
in a trap baited with meat. At Fort Klamath four were caught in a 
patch of willows and alders on the bank of Wood river, in traps 
baited with bacon. 
Small Shrew ; Sierra Shrew. Sorex vagrans amoenus, 
Merriam. 
Klamath Indian name, Sbow-sy. 
The common Shrew of the mountain belongs to the vagrans 
group and is so closely related to the Sierra form, described under the 
name amoenus, that it is placed under this head. It is abundant 
over most parts of the mountain, chiefly in wet springy places. A 
few were caught under logs in the woods. Specimens were obtained 
at Crater Lake, Anna Creek, and Diamond Lake. Specimens from 
Fort Klamath seem to be intermediate between vagrans (the coast 
form) and amoenus (the mountain form). They were very abund- 
ant along Wood river near Fort Klamath, where about 20 were 
caught in traps baited with bacon. 
Bendire's Water Shrew. Sorex {^Atophy rax) hendirei, Merriam. 
The type specimen of this species was obtained by the late 
]\Iajor Charles E. Bendire on Williamson river a few miles south of 
Fort Klamath. Mr. Bailey secured a second specimen on Fort Creek, 
close to the old post It is probably common in the streams of the
