Conepatus siiffocans pampanus, subsp. n. 



Most like C. s. gihsoni, as I now believe the Aj6 skunk 

 should be called, but the stripes conspicuously narrower, so as 

 greatly to reduce the general amount of wiiite on the animal. 

 Stripes running down on to the sides of the base of the tail, 

 as in gihsoni, while in snffocans this is very rarely the case. 

 Fur of about the same te.xture as in gihsoni, not so S')ft as in 

 huitiboldti. Tail busliy, broadly tasselled white-black-wiiite, 

 as in gihsoni, while snjfocans rarely has the long white hairs 

 at the end. 



fe^kull as usual.
