east of the San Joaquin Valley. It therefore represents a pale in- 

 terior form of the species. Doctor Allen's Peromyscus robustus came 

 from the mountainous region near the coast, and represents a somewhat 

 darker form of Peromyscus hoylii, which it may prove desirable to 

 recognize,' subspeciiically, as a northern coast form. 



Mr. Rhoads's Peromyscus major, from San Bernardino, California, 

 is not recognizably distinct from P. loylii. The specimens of this 

 species, collected by us on the east slope of the Coast Range, next to 

 the Colorado Desert, agree with Baird's type of P. hoylii and also 

 with specimens from San Bernardino, California, the type locality of 

 Rhoads's P. major. But from the west slope of the Coast Range we 

 obtained a series of specimens that are somewhat darker in color, but 

 not sufficiently different from typical hoylii to merit separation as a 

 race, being, in fact, much paler than Doctor Allen's type of P. robustus, 

 which I have compared.
