CAROLINA SHREW. 
GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. 
This quadruped is found in various localities, both in the upper and 
maritime districts of South Carolina. We recently received specimens from 
our friend Dr. Barrett, of Abbeville District ; and we have been informed 
by Dr. Pickering, to whose inspection we submitted a specimen, and who 
pronounced it undoubtedly an undescribed species, that it had been observed 
as far north as Philadelphia.
