ow available from cliffs NE [3 mi.] Ogden, Weber County, and extends the known range of this species in Utah approximately 100 miles northeastward. This pipistrelle probably inhabits all of northern and northwestern Utah in suitable habitats. This probability is supported by Davis' (1939:120) report of a specimen from Salmon Creek, eight miles west of Rogerson, Twin Falls County, Idaho. See also Krutzsch and Heppenstall (1955:127) who record a specimen from, eastern Utah as far north as, Desert Springs which is 10 mi. SW Ouray, Uintah County. _=Corynorhinus rafinesquii pallescens=_ Miller. Long-eared Bat.--Formerly, the northernmost record of the long-eared bat in Utah was from east of Springville, Utah County. Specimens are now available from Goldhill, Tooele County, and from South Fork, Ogden River, Weber County. Professor J. S. Stanford, Department of Zoology, Utah State Agricultural College, informed us (by letter) that this bat is the common cave bat in Logan Canyon, Cache County. This northern extension of known area of occurrence of approximately 100 miles indicates that it probably is state-wide in distribution in suitable habitats. It can be inferred from Hall (1946:161) that the range of _C. r. intermedius_ in Nevada extended northeastward into northwestern Utah, and Davis (1939:124) reported specimens from Bingham and Bannock counties, Idaho, that he referred to the above mentioned subspecies. This led Stanford to comment (_in litt._) that bats of this species from northern Utah in Cache County might be _C. r. intermedius_. Insofar as we are aware, _C. r. pallescens_ differs from _C. r. intermedius_ only in being slightly paler. Our specimens from Goldhill and South Fork of the Ogden River are not beyond the range of color of specimens from elsewhere in the state that are referable to _C. r. pallescens_. Inasmuch as specimens are not available from Logan Canyon, we deem it best pending the acquisition of specimens from that locality to refer all members of this species from Utah to the subspecies _C. r. pallescens_. _=Marmota flaviventer nosophora=_ Howell. Yellow-bellied Marmot.--Durrant (1952:101) did not indicate that any species of the genus _Marmota_ occurred on the mountains within the basin of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. Furthermore, he commented (_op. cit._:502) upon the dearth of sciurids within this basin. One specimen, No. 10,905, of the subspecies _M. f. nosophora_ has been taken from South W
