and at Cumberland House. A specimen in alcohol was forwarded
f r om F o r t St. James, Stuart Lake, B r i t i s h Columbia,
which is entered under Sorex ( Microsorex) hoyi B a i r d , in
North American Fauna, No. 10, 1895, p. 90. Dr. R i c h a rd
K i n g has recorded a specimen of S. forsteri - which he found
near the mouth of the Great F i s h R i v e r.
CoUE&' s SHREW— Sorex sphagnicola Coues.
The type- locality of this species is given i n the above
publication as F o r t L i a r d , Mackenzie R i v e r D i s t r i c t , and
i t probably extends much farther north. This shrew may
be indigenous i n other sections of the C a n a d i a n North- West
T e r r i t o r i e s . Mr. M o b e r l y also refers to a small short- tailed
mole, or shrew, with a sharp, longish nose, found only in
beaver lodges.

( L e Conte).
M r . Moberly states that he has seen examples of bats on
the Peace, Saskatchewan, and Athabasca rivers. Mr. P .
Deschambeault writes that he has met w i t h this species both
at Isle a la Crosse and L a c d u Brochet, but I do not remember
seeing any n o r t h of Cumberland House.
BLUNT- NOSED BAT— M y o t i s lucifugus ( Le C o n t e ) .
M r . B . R . Ross, i n h i s oft- referred- to list, mentions that
this bat is very rare, but that it extends northward to Salt
R i v e r . This species is entered among the specimens collected
by S i r George Back on Great Slave Lake, probably
near F o r t Reliance, about seventy years ago. Mr. P . Deschambeault
is also confident that it i s s p a r i n g l y present at
I s l e a l a Crosse and L a c d u Brochet. Mr. P r e b l e , however,
d i d not come across any examples i n h i s t r i p to the shores
of Hudson Bay. while D r . Robert B e l l ' s l i s t contains both
