Never taken, but included because its known range surrounds
the Park.
Marsh Shrew or Water Shrew (_Neosorex palustris_)
Probably occurs there, since its known range surrounds the
Park.
Long-eared Bat (_Corynorhinus macrotis pallescens_)
A few were seen in the Devil's Kitchen, Mammoth Hot Springs,
and one sent to the Biological Survey for identification.
This is the only Bat taken, but the following are likely to
be found, as their known range surrounds the Park:
Little Brown Bat (_Myotis lucifugus_)
Silver-haired Bat (_Lasionycteris noctivagans_)
Big Brown Bat (_Eptesicus fuscus_)
Great Hoary Bat (_Nycteris cinereus_)

Bold text is indicated by equal symbols: =text=.

been edited out of the original version.
