The first state record of Sorex palustris is reported from Georgia, in
a markedly boreal habitat in the upper headwaters of the Tallulah Riv
er in Towns County. Records in the southern Appalachians indicate the
species to be rare and its distribution characterized by a series of d
isjunct populations.
