MAMMALS OF THE MEXICAN BOUNDARY. 



487 



Measurements (Cat. No. 60982, U.S.N.M., adult male from the east 

 base of the Coast Range Mountains, near Monument No. 228). — Total 

 length, 348 mm; tail vertebrae, 174; hind foot, 34; ear from crown, 

 27. Skull, 42 by 20. 



Remarks. — Mr. Rhoads's type, from Banning, is an intermediate, 

 not tj^ical of the desert phase of this species, but, as it is not clearly 

 the subspecies intermedia, I prefer to consider it as representing the 

 present form rather than to apply a new name. I am indebted to Mr. 

 Rhoads for the privilege of comparing the type.
