Lesser Skustk. Spilogale sp. ? 



A small species of skunk was occasionally seen near the vol- 

 cano. 

 White-xosed Coati Moxdi. Nasua narica molaris Merriam. 

 pp. 280-282. 



All the Mexicans believe that there are two species of Coati 

 or tujoji, one of which hunts in bands, while the other, a larger 

 kind, is always found alone. One of the latter kind which we 

 secured proved to be an old scarred male, so probably this tajon 

 major is only an occasional ostracized individual. 

 Mexican Raccoox. Procyon lotor hernandezli (Wagl). pp. 162- 

 164, 209, 220, 223, 281, 282. 



The individuals which we saw and shot were all of large size. 

 Very abundant everywhere except on the tableland. 

 Ring-tailed Cat. Bassariscus ast ictus (Liclit.). pp. 220-223, 

 281, 282. 



Plentiful both in the barrancas and lowlands. 

 Black Beak. Ursiis americamis Pall. p. 328. 



A report came to us again and again of three bears which 

 had been shot in Tepic and in the northern mountains of Jalisco. 

 I obtained a good-sized tooth from an Indian hunter. This bear 

 is called Oso by the Mexicans. 

 Vampire. Desmodus rotundus (E. Geof.). pp. 270, 276. 



Rather common in the Colima lowlands. One, which found its 

 way one night into the house with us. tried to escape but made 

 no attempt to disturb us. Near camp I found one dead, hanging 

 in a dense thicket close to a hollow tree. It had evidently been 

 dead some days. 

 Small Bat. Sp. ? pp. 217, 218, 360. 



Very abundant near our camp in the lowlands.
