EINAR LÖNNBERG, MAMMALS FROM ECUADOR. 



Conepatus quiteiisis Humboldt. 



Three female skulls from resp. Zambiza, Nono, and 

 Pichincha (11000 f.). 



The condylobasal length of these skulls varies betweeii 

 74 and 81 mm. The basal length of one of these female 

 skulls is so small as 69 mm., but in the others and in some 

 unsexed skulls of the same origin, received at an earlier 

 opportunity, the same dimension varies between 73 and 75 

 mm., while the zygomatic breadth of the first is 50, and the 

 same of the others varying between 52 and 53 mm. It will 

 thus appear, that C. quitensis on an average is larger than C 

 arequipae Thomas from Peru, with which it may be mos t 

 nearly allied. 



Nasua gualeae Lönnb. 



1 c? ^7ii 1920, Gualea, 5000 f. alt. This fine specimen 

 agrees entirely with the recently published description. It is 

 an old male with well developed sagittal örest and the skull 

 is a little larger than those, of which the dimensions were 

 published in the original description. The condylobasal length 

 is 121 mm. and other measurements in accordance with this. 

 The existence of a well defined race of Nasua at Gualea is 

 by this further corroborated in a most satisfactory manner. 



Potos flavus modestus Thomas. 



A rather young specimen from the neighbourhood of 

 Mindo ^^7 1920. It had been procured from Indians. The 

 skull has still its milk-teeth. The colour is rather strongly 

 buff, overlaid with brown on the back. 



Bassaricyon gabbii medius Thomas. 



1 $ collected V» 1920, near Mindo. It is considered by 

 the Indians to be very rare, Consul Söderström says. This 

 female specimen is rather similar to the male mentioned in 

 my ii>Second Contribution» — — — , but the hind feet are a 

 little paler. A second specimen without skull from the same 

 locality is similar.
