MAY, 1903. A LIST OF MAMMALS ELLIOT. 183 



Tamias townsendi littoralis. 



Tamias townsendi littoralis. Elliot, Pub. Field Columb. Mus., 

 1903, in, p. 153. 



Nineteen examples: 10, Marshfield ; i, Scottsburg; 4, Florence; 

 4, Gardiner, Oregon. 



This sub-species is conspicuous for its lack of gray dorsal stripes, 

 and the presence of the ochraceous face and distinct anteorbital stripes 

 and white underparts. The specimens were all taken in November 

 and December and are therefore in winter pelage, but the coat is not 

 at all worn. In the paper in which this race was described I gave the 

 differences between it and hindsi, ochrogenys and townsendi. 



Tamias townsendi hindsi. 



Tamias townsendi hindsi. Gray, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 1842, 

 p. 264. Elliot, Syn. N. Am. Mamm., 1901, p. 70. 



Twenty-three specimens: 20, Nicasio (topptypes); 3, Point Reyes, 

 California. 



C1TELLUS. 

 Citellus v. douglasi. 



Citellus v. douglasi. (Richards), Faun. Bor. Amer., 1829, i, p. 

 172. Elliot, Syn. N. Am. Mamm., 1901, p. 89, under Spermophilus. 



Nine examples: 2, Petaluma; 3, Eureka, California; and 4 from 

 Goldbeach, Oregon. 



Considerable variation is observable among these specimens, some 

 having the lower back very much darker than the others, and while 

 the black patch on the back is conspicuous on the majority, yet two 

 individuals ffom Goldbeach have little "or no black on the back and. 

 the lower back and rump are light yellowish brown mottled with white 

 as is seen in most species of beecheyi. As a rule, the hoary tail will 

 serve to distinguish douglasi from its relatives, but not always, for 

 sometimes, as is the case of one of these Goldbeach specimens, the 

 tail fs more brown than hoary, and its owner might be placed with 

 either race. At Goldbeach this spermophile is common according to 

 Mr. Heller on "rocky open hillsides, and is said to hibernate as soon 

 as the heavy rains commence in November." At Eureka it is "abun- 

 dant about Scotia in grain- fields and pastures, and said to be common 

 inland, not found close to Humboldt Bay."
