Skull Springs and Quartz Basin, two localities of Barstovian (late Miocene) age in Malheur County, Oregon,
have produced relatively abundant jaws and teeth of shrews (family Soricidae Gray). The subfamily
Heterosoricinae Viret and Zapfe is represented m these localities by Heterosorex Gaillard, sp., Paradomnina
relictus gen. n. et sp. n., and lngentisorex tumididens gen. n. et sp. n. The subfamily Soricinae Murray
is represented by the specialized Alluvisorex arcadentes gen. n. et sp. n. The subfamily Crocidurinae Milne
Edwards is represented by cf. Limnoecus Stirton, sp. indet.
