♦Dorcelaphus hemionus eremicus Mearns. 



Preliminary Diagnoses of New Mammals of the Genera Mephitis, Dorce- 



laphus, and Dicotyles, from the Mexican Border of the United States, 



p. 4, Feb. 11, 1897. (Reprint: Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 20: 470, Dec. 24, 



1897.) 

 — Odocoileus hemionus eremicus (Mearns). See Thompson, Forest and 



Stream 51: 286, Oct. 8, 1898. 

 63403. Skin (no skull). Adult male. Sierra Seri, near the Gulf 

 of California, opposite Tiburon Island, in the most arid portion 

 of Sonora, Mexico. December 1895. Collected by W. J. 

 McGee. 



This skin is represented by a rug, well made and well preserved, and 

 also by a few small tragments trimmed from the skin before it was 

 made into a rug. Until 1902 the skin was owned by Dr. Anita N. McGee, 

 of Washington, D. C, while the small scraps had been in the National 

 Museum since May 20, 1896. On May 28, 1902, the rug was purchased 

 by the Museum. 



No type was designated. Mearns specified three individuals in the 

 original description, namely, skin No. 63403, and two pairs of antlers, 

 Nos. 59910 and 60855. The description is based primarily on the skin, 

 and the antlers are mentioned rather incidentally at the end of the 

 description, prefaced by this statement : "It appears to be a larger animal 

 than the mule deer of the Eastern Desert Tract, and, unless the speci- 

 mens brought home by our party are abnormal, its horns are heavier," 

 which seems to indicate that the antlers form but a minor part of the 

 description.
