treadth, 7.2 (7.1-7.3); maxillary tooth row, 9.9 (9.6-10.3); mandib- 

 ular molar-premolar row, 9.6 (9.4-9.8). Average of 11 skuUs of 

 adult females from type locality: Greatest length, 30.4 (29.5-30.8); 

 palatilar length, 12.4 (12-12.7); mastoidal breadth, 16.1 (15.6-16.4); 

 interorbital breadth, 7 (6.7-7.3); maxillary tooth row, 9.6 (9.4-9.7); 

 mandibular molar-premolar row, 9.4 (9.2-9.6). 



Remarks. — The small size of ^S'. a. australis, together with its relatively 

 short, broad, and high skull, readily distinguish it from S. a. Jiowelli, 

 its nearest relative toward the north. Its characters are retained very 

 constantly throughout most of its geographic range. Skulls of speci- 

 mens from St. Catherines Island, Ga., are actually and relatively longer 

 than those of typical australis, and in this respect approach Jiowelli; 

 in other characters the skulls do not differ essentially from those of 

 typical australis; in color these specimens are inseparable from aus- 

 tralis. A similar though less marked tendency toward Jiowelli is 

 noticeable in specimens from Ossabaw Island and Barrington, Ga. 

 South of the type locality australis decreases slightly in size; speci- 

 mens from Oak Lodge and Lemon City, Fla., are of minimum size 

 and average very slightly smaller and darker than those from the type 

 region.
