Sorex. Two species are found. (1) a small species is rather rare at Jico those taken were living in damp situations along the canons. (2) a black-tailed large species is rather common in the oak woods where they make well beaten roads sometimes three inches broad usually under fallen logs. One or two were also taken at Jico but always in damp well shaded situations. A shrew looking exactly like these was taken on Mt. Orizaba at an altitude of about 9000 ft.

Vespertilio. A single specimen of this [[strikethrough ^ sp^]]  genus was brought me by an indian who had caught it in his house near lower edge of the oak woods.
