R. MOON 1987 Species Account Gray Shrew (Notiosorex crawfordi) 14 May South [illegible] fork in Bonanza king Canyon, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino Co., CA. T11N R14E sec 32 sw'1/4. elev. ~1460 m. Bruce and I found a dead [illegible] shrew in one of our pitfall traps just above the confluence of the south fork and middle fork of Bonanza king Canyon. The trap was placed just below some small boulders in a rocky wash next to some oak like shrubs and a piñon pine. This area is the approximate lower limit of the Piñon-Juniper woodland in this canyon. My identification of this specimen is tentative as this species is the only known one in the area and specimens have been taken from the nearby Granite Mountains. I know of no other shrew specimens taken from the Providence Mountains.
