CM = Cobequid Mountains. PAH = Pictou-Antigonish Highlands. CBH = Cape Breton Highlands. Results One nulliparous adult female Sorex dispar was captured on 22 August 1984 at the uphill end of the more southern of the two traplines. The trap was set under a projecting horizontal tree root which in turn sheltered several crevices between boulders in the talus. The skin, skull and body skeleton of this specimen have been deposited in the collection of the Nova Scotia Museum (catalogue number ). In addition to the single Long-tailed Shrew, three other species (see Table 1) were captured on the talus. A fourth species, Tamias striatus (Eastern Chip- munk), was seen alive but not captured. A third trapUne was set 100 m to the north along a stream from 21 to 23 August (108 TN) and yielded two species of shrew {Sorex palustris, American Water Shrew, and S. fumeus. Smoky Shrew) not captured on the Table 1. Small mammal captures on Folly Mountain, 20-23 August 1984.
