Evotomys gapperi ochraceus Miller. 



Erotonn/s r/apperi ochracevs Miller, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. XXVI, 

 p. l;):-!, ]Mareh 24, 1894. 



Type localiti/. — Mount Washington, New Hampshire (Alpine Garden, at 

 5400 feet altitude). 



Geographic distribution.— The White Mountains of New Hampshire and 

 (probably eastward to) Nova Scotia. 



General characters. — Sinular to E. gapperi, but slightly larger and much 

 duller and paler ; fur long and lax ; skull as in gapperi. 



Color. — Type specimen: dorsal area faintly outlined, pale dull rusty 

 rufous, with no black hairs ; sides bufty clay color ; belly plumbeous, 

 lightly washed with dirty whitish ; feet gray ; tail bicolor, bufty below, 

 brownish above ; upper i)art of pencil Ijlackish ; ears w'ell haired, upper 

 edges pale fulvous. 



Crani(d characters. — Skull of type not appreciably difterent from that of 

 typical gapperi. 



Measurements. — Type, measured in flesh by Gerrit S. Miller, Jr. : total 

 length, 148; tail vertebrte, 39.6; hind foot, 19. Sknll of type : basal 

 length, 22 ; nasals, 6.7; zygomatic breadth, 13; mastoid breadth, 11.3; 

 upper molar series, 5. 



General rem((rks. — This subspecies difters from typical gapperi in paler, 

 duller coloration — the opposite extreme from the dark, rich carolinensis 

 which inhabits the toiis of the mountains of North Carolina. Specimens 

 from Ossipee, N. H., are evidently intermediate between aapperi and 

 ochraceus. In size they even exceed ocliraceus, and in color they are 

 slightly paler than true gapperi. Specimens from Digljy and James River, 

 Nova Scotia, kindly placed at my dis])OS'il by Mr. Outram Bangs, are 

 plainly referable to ochraceus, though with a slightly darker, brighter 

 dorsal stripe than the type.^
