Feb. 23 BANGS — SANTA MARTA MAMMALS 89 
1900 
(Note.— All measurements are in millimeters. All external 
measurements are those taken by the collector from fresh 
specimens. When I say a specimen is from Santa Marta, I mean 
that it is from the immediate vicinity of that town, from an alti- 
tude not exceeding 600 feet.) 
lyrmecophaga jubata Linn. 
One adult female, skin and skull, from Dibulla, taken Sept. 15, 
1899. 
Uroleptes sellata (Cope). 
One adult male, skin and skull, from Santa Marta, and two 
other skulls. The adult male measures as follows: total length, 
togo; tail vertebra, 545; hind foot, with claw, 95; ear, from 
notch, 45. 
Cabassous hispidus (Burm.). 
One male from Santa Marta, Jan. 30, 1898. It measured: 
total length, 465; tail vertebra, 160; hind foot, with claw, 65 ; 
ear, from notch, 31. I have compared this specimen with those 
collected at Chapada, Brazil, by Smith and reported upon by 
Cope.t. These specimens were kindly lent me by Mr. Witmer 
Stone of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia. I can 
find no differences between the Brazilian specimens and mine. 
Didelphis karkinophaga Zimm. 
Four adults from Pueblo Viejo and Santa Marta. All agree 
very well with Allen’s and Chapman’s description of the Trinidad 
specimens that they refer to this species. Two of our skins 
have a large rusty patch on each side of the neck, below and 
behind the ear. In the other two the same region is yellower 
than the under fur is elsewhere. 
Metachirus nudicaudata (FE. Geoff.). 
One male, taken at Palomina, May 3, 1898, measures: total 
length, 580; tail vertebra, 305; hind foot, 44; ear, 34.
