THE MASKED SHREW, SOREX-CINEREUS (INSECTIVORA, SORICIDAE), AND RED-BACKED VOLE, CLETHRIONOMYS-GAPPERI (RODENTIA, MURIDAE), IN THE BLUE-RIDGE PROVINCE OF SOUTH-CAROLINA

The first records of Sorer cinereus Kerr are documented from South Car olina. Pitfall surveys throughout the Blue Ridge Province resulted in captures from two localities in markedly mesic, relict, boreal habitat s. Additional records of Clethironomys gapperi (Vigors) were documente d including the most southeastern record. Both S. cinereus and C. gapp eri are rare in South Carolina, largely because of limited areas of ap propriate habitats.
