labrador n Small Labrador vole. _Microtus penn-_ _sylvanicus labradorius_ Bailey. _Proc. Biol Soc. Wash_., p. 88. 1898. This little vole probably occurs only in the barrens and semi-barrens. It can be told from _M. enixus_ by its smaller size, shorter, more hairy tail, by its smaller, flatter skull, with shorter rostrum and nasals, and smaller, shorter, incisive foramina, differently shaped zygoma, and larger auditory bullae. _ibid_. Larger Labrador vole. _Microtus enixus_ Bangs. _Am. Nat_., Vol. xxx, p. 105. 1896. Probably common throughout all the wooded regions, its range extending north to the semi-barrens and meeting that of _M. penn-_ _sylvanicus labradorius_. _ibid_., 463 Labrador rock vole. _Microtus chrotorrhinus rarus_ Bangs. _Proc.
