Skull, No. 10162, old adult J, from Boquete 5,800 feet, basal length, 197; 

 occipitonasal length, 222; zygomatic width, 103; greatest width across squa- 

 mosals posteriorly, 98 ; palatal length to palatal notch, 140 ; breadth of basioc- 

 cipital between bullae posteriorly, 19 ; length of upper molariform series, 64. 



Remarks. — I do not give this fine new peccary as a subspecies of Tayassu 

 atigiUatiis (Cope) because the relationships of the North Americau forms and 

 the South American T. tajacu are not as yet clearly understood. It is very 

 different from any of the forms lately described by Doctor Merriam, and is 

 even more widely separated from my T. torvus of the Santa Marta region of 

 Colombia. The two younger specimens agree in coloration, but the old 9 , 

 No. 10,162, is slightly different ; the bristles of the rump are rather more annu- 

 lated, and the color of the lighter rings on the bristles here and on the sides is 

 paler — yellowish white instead of tawny. The color of the shoulder stripes 

 and the head and neck is as in the other species. It is in rather worn pelage, 

 and as these differences may be due to actual fading, I select a younger indi- 

 vidual, in fine pelage for the type. 



A white-lipped peccary also occurs in Chiriqui. Mr. Brown saw them sev- 

 eral times, but those wounded escaped in the dense jungle. 



Odocoileus^ sp. "? 



One young ^, Boquete, 4,000 feet, April 10. This specimen is in the 

 spotted pelage, and is too young to identify. The species was rare, but was well 

 known to the native hunters. 



Mazama sartorii (Sadssure). 



Three adults, two males and a 9 > Boquete, 4,000 to 4,800 feet, March and 

 April. 



1 For use of Dama instead of Odocoileus, see Allen, Bull. Am. Mus. N. H., Vol. 

 XVI. pp. 18-20, Feb. 1, 1902. I am as yet not satisfied as to the correctness of Dr. 

 Allen's contention.
