ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS TO THE LIST OF 

 KANSAS MAMMALS. 



By D. E. Lantz, Washington, D. C. 



SINCE the publication, two years ago, of my list of Kansas mam- 

 mals, further work in the field, together with comparisons of 

 material in the collections at Washington, have made it possible to 

 correct some errors of the former paper and to add several species 

 to the state list. 



I. -ADDITIONS. 



1. Citellus tridecemlineatus texensis ( Merriam) . Texas Spermophile. 



This red variety of the Striped prairie squirrel was taken by me last 

 year at several Oklahoma places and at Medicine Lodge, Kan. I 

 find also that Vernon Bailey had taken specimens of this subspecies 

 at Kiowa, Kan., in 1892. 



2. Peromyscus leucopus (Rafin.) White-footed Deer Mouse. 



This woodland form of the White-footed mouse was found abundant 

 at Manhattan last year. The collections of the United States 

 National Museum and the Biological Survey contain specimens 

 from Leavenworth, Onaga, Fort Riley, and Neosho Falls. 



3. Peromyscus luteus (Osgood ) . Buff Deer Mouse. 



Taken by me in 1905 at Medicine Lodge and Hays City, and by J. 

 Alden Loring, previously, at Pendennis. The Hays City specimens 

 are intermediates between P. luteus and P. michiganensis, with 

 some individuals approaching very nearly to typical luteus. 



4. Peromyscus attwateri Allen. Attwater Deer Mouse, 



Four specimens taken in 1892, by Vernon Bailey, at Cedar Vale, Kan., 

 and now in the Biological Survey collection, belong to this South- 

 ern form, which has also been found at Dougherty, I. T., by 

 Thaddeus Surber, of the Field Museum. 



5. Reithrodontomys griseus Bailey. Little Gray Harvest Mouse. 



This Harvest mouse was recently described from Texas ( Bailey, N. 

 A. Fauna, No. 25, p. 106, 1905). Specimens in the Biological 

 Survey collection from Onaga, Pendennis and Wa Keeney have 

 been referred to the new form. It seems to occur at the three 

 Kansas points named, associated with R. dychei but is not so 

 abundant as that species. It differs from dychei in smaller size, 

 grayer color, and shorter skull. 



6. Neotoma micropus Baird. Small-footed Wood Rat. 



Wood rats in the Kansas State Agricultural College museum, secured 

 at Sun, Barber county, prove to be of this species. This rat had 

 been previously taken in Woodward, Woods and Beaver counties, 

 Oklahoma, and is probably common in the gypsum hills of south- 

 ern Kansas.
