212 FIELD MUSEUM or NATURAL HISTORY ZOOLOGY, VOL. X. 



Nasua montana Tschudi. MOUNTAIN COATI. 



Two specimens, Porto Velho, Brazil. 



These dark-qolored and short-tailed coatis, one adult and one 

 immature, are referred to N. montana with considerable doubt ; but, with 

 such material as is at hand for comparison, no better disposition of them 

 is possible. 



Felis pardalis chibigouazou Griffith. SOUTHERN OCELOT. 



One specimen, Porto Velho, Brazil. 



Although not wholly agreeing with descriptions, this specimen 

 may be referred tentatively to this form on geographic grounds. 



Felis pardalis ocelot Smith. NORTHEASTERN OCELOT. 



An imperfect skin without skull obtained at Santarem by G. K. 

 Cherrie is in the collection. It is closely similar to a specimen from 

 Georgetown, British Guiana, both being richly rufescent dorsally and 

 having numerous small shoulder spots and the body markings large, 

 bold, and distinct. These are characters described and figured by 

 Hamilton Smith for his Ocelot No. 2 to which Mearns* has regarded the 

 name Felis ocelot applicable. I have therefore ventured to adopt this 

 name for these specimens and to consider Guiana as the type locality. 



Tayra barbara madeirensis Lonnberg. MADEIRA TAYRA. 



One specimen, Todos Santos. 



This specimen has nearly or quite the coloration described for this 

 subspecies, but the hair is not especially short. The hinder parts of 

 the animal are blackish brown and the tail quite black evidently very 

 different from the pale color of the type of T. b. brunnea which is from 

 the relatively nearby region of the Beni River. 



Glossophaga soricina Pallas. COMMON GLOSSOPHAGA. 

 One specimen, Trinidad. 



Artibeus andersenif sp. nov. ANDERSEN'S ARTIBEUS. 



Type (in alcohol) from Porto Velho, Brazil. No. 21331 Field Mu- 

 seum of Natural History. Adult male. Collected April 3, 1915 by 

 R. H. Becker. Original No. 886. 



Characters. Similar to Artibeus toltecus raws, but smaller and darker, 

 being quite the smallest species of Artibeus yet known; forearm 34-36. 

 Color dark brownish above and below, no evident light facial stripes; 

 hairing on limbs and membranes as in A. cinereus and A. toltecus.
