The specimens from Rock Springs are two adult males that were shot, and

one adult male, one adult female, and one young male that were netted

at the place described in the account of _Myotis evotis_. The three

adult males are near the average color of _M. s. melanorhinus_, and

distinctly darker than the _Myotis californicus_ from the Mesa Verde. In

the female the pelage is paler and brighter, and the ears and membranes

are darker, than in _M. californicus_.
