2. A list of the Mammals collected in Eastern Honduras. 



1. Mycetes palliatus Gray. 



Two adult males, an adult female, aud a young female of this species 

 were obtained.* This species has not, I believe, hitherto been obtained 

 north of Lake Nicaragua, aud its discovery in Eastern Honduras con- 

 siderably extends its known range. 



2. Cebus hypoleucus Humboldt. 



Two males and two females of this species were obtained. It has 

 not been found, hitherto, I believe, north of Nicaragua. The specimens 

 present the normal coloration. 



3. Felis pardalis Linne. 



Two specimens were obtained. 



4. Nasua nasica Linne". 



Two young specimens, about 260 ram . long, labeled Segovia River 

 and Eastern Honduras respectively. The former, No. 15912, which is 

 slightly the larger, is dark brown above, with a median baud of black- 

 ish brown, and an area on each shoulder lighter brown thau that of 

 the sides. The annulations of the tail are distinct. The smaller skin, 

 No. 160S8, is darker on the sides, but the subterminal light brown rings 

 of the hairs are more conspicuous, and the color does not change on 

 the shoulders. The annulations of the tail are less distinct. 



5. Cariacus clavatus True. 



A series of six skins of this interesting simple-horned deer, of which 

 I have recently published a description in an earlier part of this journal, t 

 is included in Mr. Townsend's collection. 



There are two males of two or three years, two females, aud a single 

 young individual of either sex. For a description of these skins I 

 refer the reader to my recently-published essay on the species. 



6 Scuirus hypopyrrhus Wagler. 



The collection includes four skins of this species, which vary in color 

 in a very remarkable maimer. The backs are, however, of the same 

 color in all the specimens, being grizzled from the fact that the color 

 of the subterminal light yellow rings of the hairs is mingled with the 

 pure black of the tips. The tuft behind the ear is ferruginous in all 

 the specimens. In other respects the} r differ as follows : 



15946, 9. Segovia River, June 25, 1887. Under surfaces mixed 

 black and rusty brown ; an irregular median white baud. Throat rusty 

 brown. Feet black. Subterminal black baud of the hairs of t lie under 

 side of the tail very broad. 



* The exact locality in Eastern Honduras from which these specimens were ob- 

 tained is not giveu in the label. Mr. Townseud's explorations were, however, con- 

 fined to the Segovia River and the vicinity of Truxillo.
