Measurements (Cat. No. 60982, U.S.N.M., adult male from theeasl 

 base of the Coast Range Mountains, near Monument \o. 228). — Total 

 length, 848 nun: tail vertebrae, 174; hind foot, 34; ear from crown, 

 27. Skull, 42 by 20. 



Remark*. — Mr. Rhoads's type, from Banning, is an intermediate, 

 not typical of the desert phase of this species, but , as it is not clearly 

 the subspecies intermedia, 1 prefer to consider it as representing the 

 present form rat her than to apply a new name. I am indebted to Mr. 

 Rhoads for the privilege of comparing the type.
