BANGS: LAND MAMMALS OF FLORIDA AND GEORGIA. 175 
edges of the cultivated fields and among the saw palmetto of the 
upper beach, while at Micco, on the main peninsula opposite, flori- 
danus is the form found, it being in fact the type locality of that 
subspecies. 
I have many specimens from a number of localities in Georgia 
and northern Florida. 
Lepus (Sylyilagus) sylvaticus florid anus Allen. 
Lepus sylvaticus floridanus Allen, Bull. Amer. mus. nat. hist., 
1890-91, p. 160. 
Type locality. Micco, Brevard County, Florida. 
The south Florida cotton tail is found all over southern Florida, 
from a little north of Micco at least to Miami (except on the east 
peninsula). I have never been able to ascertain definitely whether 
it is found in the everglades or not. Miami is the southernmost 
point I have specimens from. 
Ten fully grown topotypes (partly measured by W. L. Gibson, 
partly by myself) give the following average measurements: total 
length, 410; tail vertebrae, 47.5; hind foot, 86. Maximum size,, 
that of largest individual in above average, No. 3,436, total length : 
4^29 ; tail vertebrae, 58 ; hind foot, 89. 
Geomys tuza tuza (Ord).

Type locality. Pine Barrens near Augusta, Georgia. 
The Georgia “ salamander 5,1 occurs in immense colonies scattered 
through the pine woods of eastern Georgia, from the Savannah 
River south at least to Sterling and west to western Georgia, where 
it begins to merge into G. tuza mobilensis . 2 
1 1 use the name “salamander ” for all the species of Geomys of the tuza group, not 
only on account of its appropriateness, but also because it is the only name used for 
them in the region in which they occur. 
2 Geomys tuza mobilensis Merriam, type locality Mobile Ray, Alabama, does not 
properly come within the scope of the present paper. It is a small, dark form with 
wide frontals and a sagittal crest. It occupies western Georgia, western Florida, and 
the coast region of Alabama.
