No. 157517 United States National Museum (Biological Survey Collection), collected in Nicka- jack Cave, near Shellmound, Marion County, Tenn., August 31, 1903, by A. H. Map 3.—Disteibution of Myotis ohiskscens Distribution.—Limestone area from extreme southern Indiana and Illinois south to Tennessee, Georgia, and central Alabama, westward to southwestern Missouri and northern Arkansas. The range is still imperfectly known, but, as indicated by specimens now at hand, it apparently does not meet that of Myotis velifer incautus at any point, nor does it extend east of the Alleghenies. The occurrence of this animal in Kentucky can hardly be doubted, though no specimens are available. This distribution is probably conditioned in part by the presence of*large limestone caves available for permanent habitation, and the occurrence of the caves is in turn dependent on the geological structure of the country. For unlike most other cave-haunting Myotis, of eastern North America at least,.
