genus. In entering at once upon tlic discussion of the nominal species tlmt 

 luive been coined at the expense of Sigmodon hinpidus, we first present a 

 table of measurements of thirty-four specimens collected in the same locality 

 by the same persons. A part of the measurements being from alcoholic speci- 

 mens and the rest from very nicely-prepured skins, the figures are reliable. 

 They serve to indicate the normal individual variability of the animal in size, 

 unaffected by geographical or climatic influences, and give us data in the 

 problem that cannot be galnsayed.
