Tamias quadrivittatus var. clorsalis, ALLEN, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., xvi, 1874, p. . 



This form, originally described from the Mjmbres, and afterward found 

 by Dr. Coues at Fort Whipple, is more distinct than the other lately recog- 

 nized " varieties " of T. quadrivittatus ; in fact, we do not feel confident that 

 Mr. Allen's late assignment of it to this species may not require reconsider- 

 ation. For the present, however, we accept this determination.
