Cahn—Notes on the Vertebrate Fauna

Star-nosed Mole. Condylura cristata (Linn.). 
Although none was seen in either county, unmistakable evi¬ 
dence in the form of tunnels which could only have been made 
by this animal were found in wet places both in Iron and in 
Houghton counties. The woodsmen also tell of the ‘‘funny 
mouse with the thing on its nose” which undoubtedly refers to 
this species. 
Say^s Bat. Myotis suhulatus (Say). 
Occurs commonly in both counties, though a specimen was se¬ 
cured only at Lake 83. About Kenton the species is found on 
the wing only well along toward dusk, unless disturbed, while 
out in the woods it becomes active early in the afternoon, and 
begins to fly around long before dusk. One little fellow in par¬ 
ticular that stayed about camp—known because of a rent in the 
wing—^started out on his travels about four-thirty every after¬ 
noon, and was busy catching insects over the lake certainly un¬ 
til dark.
