Specimens Examined Specimens used in this study included 224 Sorex dispar and 23 5. gaspensis listed by Kirkland and Van Deusen (1979) and one 5". i/w/^or reported by Kirkland et al. (1979).

The following abbreviations are used: NBM (New Brunswick Museum, St. John), SSC (The Vertebrate Museum, Shippensburg State College, Pennsylvania), TWF (Thomas W.
