RAYMOND HALL + + +In preparing a list of kinds of mammals of which specimens have been +saved from the Méxican state of Michoacán, two heretofore unrecognized +subspecies of the Méxican meadow mouse, _Microtus mexicanus_, have been +found. Names for these and descriptions are given below. + + + #Microtus mexicanus fundatus# new subspecies + + _Type._--Male, adult, skin and skull; No. 100637, Univ. + California Mus. Vert. Zool.; 3-1/2 mi. S Pátzcuaro, 7,900 ft., + Michoacán, México; March 9, 1943; obtained by E. R. Hall, + original no. 5882. + + _Range._--Known only from the vicinity of the type locality. + + _Diagnosis._--Size large (see measurements); color brown + overlain with cinnamon; nasals expanded distally with + premaxillary borders concave laterally; posterior border of + orbit inclined posterolaterally; preorbital region and + interparietal region depressed; incisive foramina narrow; + zygomatic arches parallel; tympanic bullae much inflated. + + _Comparisons._--Among named subspecies of _Microtus mexicanus_, + _M. m. fundatus_ most closely resembles _M. m. mexicanus_ but + differs as follows: Larger in all parts measured; pelage with + slightly less buffy color and with the buffy color that is + present of a slightly lighter tint; posterior two-thirds of + premaxillary border of each nasal concave rather than straight; + posterior border of orbit forming more acute angle with sagittal + plane of posterior part of skull; superior outline of nasals + straight rather than depressed in posterior part; tympanic + bullae more inflated both in vertical and horizontal planes. + + From _M. c. salvus_, the subspecies next to the westward, + _fundatus_ differs as follows: Averaging larger in all parts + measured; less reddish on upper parts; underparts with more + reddish color but the reddish of lighter tint; perineal region + buffy instead of plumbeous; nasals with premaxillary borders + laterally concave rather than straight; superior outline of + skull with nasal segment sloping anteroventrally and + interparietal segment sloping posteroventrally rather than + straight; posterior margin of orbit inclined posterolaterally + thus forming an acute angle, instead of a right angle, with + sagittal plane of braincase; zygomatic arches parallel rather + than bowed outward; incisive foramina narrower; tympanic bullae + more inflated in vertical plane. + + Relying on Bailey's (N. Amer. Fauna, 17:55, 1900) description of + _Microtus fulviventer_, _fundatus_ differs in much larger + tympanic bullae. + +_Remarks._--The series of 59 specimens includes individuals of several +ages of both sexes. This has been a great advantage in making +comparisons with individuals of geographically adjoining subspecies +since individuals of the same age and sex could be compared. When the +skulls are laid top-side down on a flat surface the occiput is much +higher than in _salvus_. + +Our specimens, taken in the dry season, were trapped mostly in runways +beneath a dense growth of grass underneath a rail fence. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 59, distributed, with respect to + the town of Pátzcuaro, as follows: 3-1/2 mi. S, 7,900 ft., 9; + 4 mi. S, 7,800 ft., 16; 5 mi. S, 7,800 ft., 26; 9 mi. SE, 8,000 + ft., 8. + + [Illustration: FIGS. 1-6. Skulls of the type specimens of two + subspecies of _Microtus mexicanus_.

C. Wonder, original No. + 1163. + + _Range._--Known only from Mount Tancitaro at elevations of 7,800 + to 11,400 feet. + + _Diagnosis._--Size medium (see measurements); color brown + overlain with cinnamon; premaxillary borders of nasals straight; + superior outline of skull nearly straight; posterior margin of + orbit at right angle with long axis of skull; zygomatic arches + bowed outward; incisive foramina wide; tympanic bullae small. + + _Comparisons._--From topotypes of its nearest relative, + _Microtus mexicanus phaeus_ Merriam, _salvus_ differs as + follows: Tail shorter; pelage with slightly more buffy (reddish) + pigment which, nevertheless, is of a lighter tint; premaxillary + borders of nasals straight rather than concave; superior outline + of skull more nearly straight (less convex); inferior border of + rostrum more nearly straight (less concave distally); palatal + fossae uniformly shallower. + + Comparison with _M. m. fundatus_ is made in the account of that + subspecies. + +_Remarks._--The degree of difference between _M. m. salvus_ and _M. m. +fundatus_ exceeds that between _M. m. salvus_ and _M. m. phaeus_ or that +between _M. m. fundatus_ and _M. m. mexicanus_. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 14, from Mount Tancitaro, + Michoacán, distributed, according to elevation above sea level, + as follows: 11,400 feet, 8; 11,000 ft., 2; 7,800 ft., 1; no + elevation recorded, 8. + + _Measurements of the two subspecies._--Average and extreme + measurements of ten adult males of _M. m. fundatus_ and eight + adult males of _M. m. salvus_, are, respectively, as follows: + Total length, 147 (135-158), 141 (134-146); length of tail, 33.4 + (30-39), 29.6 (25-32); length of hind foot, 21.1 (20-22), 20.0 + (18-21); condylobasal length, 27.7 (27.0-29.0), 25.9 + (25.5-26.2); occipitonasal length, 27.5 (26.8-28.5), 25.7 + (25.3-26.0); length of nasals, 8.0 (7.7-8.4), 7.5 (6.9-8.1); + zygomatic breadth, 16.4 (15.9-17.2), 15.0 (14.6-15.3); + interorbital breadth, 3.7 (3.5-3.9), 3.5 (3.3-3.6); mastoid + breadth, 12.7 (12.2-13.2), 11.7 (11.7-11.7); alveolar length of + upper molar series, 7.0 (6.8-7.3), 6.7 (6.5-6.9); width of + rostrum, 5.7 (5.1-5.9), 5.3 (5.3-5.3); palatilar length, 13.3 + (12.7-14.3), 12.6 (11.9-12.9).

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

RAYMOND HALL</h3> + + +<p>In preparing a list of kinds of mammals of which specimens have +been saved from the Méxican state of Michoacán, two heretofore +unrecognized subspecies of the Méxican meadow mouse, <i>Microtus +mexicanus</i>, have been found. Names for these and descriptions are +given below.</p> + + +<p class="center"><b>Microtus mexicanus fundatus</b> new subspecies</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Type.</i>—Male, adult, skin and skull; No. 100637, Univ. California Mus. Vert. +Zool.; 3½ mi. S Pátzcuaro, 7,900 ft., Michoacán, México; March 9, 1943; obtained +by E. R. Hall, original no. 5882.</p> + +<p><i>Range.</i>—Known only from the vicinity of the type locality.</p> + +<p><i>Diagnosis.</i>—Size large (see measurements); color brown overlain with cinnamon; +nasals expanded distally with premaxillary borders concave laterally; +posterior border of orbit inclined posterolaterally; preorbital region and +interparietal region depressed; incisive foramina narrow; zygomatic arches +parallel; tympanic bullae much inflated.</p> + +<p><i>Comparisons.</i>—Among named subspecies of <i>Microtus mexicanus</i>, <i>M. m. +fundatus</i> most closely resembles <i>M. m. mexicanus</i> but differs as follows: Larger +in all parts measured; pelage with slightly less buffy color and with the buffy +color that is present of a slightly lighter tint; posterior two-thirds of premaxillary +border of each nasal concave rather than straight; posterior border of +orbit forming more acute angle with sagittal plane of posterior part of skull; +superior outline of nasals straight rather than depressed in posterior part; +tympanic bullae more inflated both in vertical and horizontal planes.</p> + +<p>From <i>M. c. salvus</i>, the subspecies next to the westward, <i>fundatus</i> differs as +follows: Averaging larger in all parts measured; less reddish on upper parts; +underparts with more reddish color but the reddish of lighter tint; perineal +region buffy instead of plumbeous; nasals with premaxillary borders laterally +concave rather than straight; superior outline of skull with nasal segment +sloping anteroventrally and interparietal segment sloping posteroventrally +rather than straight; posterior margin of orbit inclined posterolaterally thus +forming an acute angle, instead of a right angle, with sagittal plane of braincase; +zygomatic arches parallel rather than bowed outward; incisive foramina +narrower; tympanic bullae more inflated in vertical plane.</p> + +<p>Relying on Bailey's (N. Amer. Fauna, 17:55, 1900) description of <i>Microtus +fulviventer</i>, <i>fundatus</i> differs in much larger tympanic bullae.</p></div> + +<p><i>Remarks.</i>—The series of 59 specimens includes individuals of +several ages of both sexes. This has been a great advantage in making +comparisons with individuals of geographically adjoining subspecies +since individuals of the same age and sex could be compared. +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_426" id="Page_426">[Pg 426]</a></span> +When the skulls are laid top-side down on a flat surface the occiput +is much higher than in <i>salvus</i>.</p> + +<p>Our specimens, taken in the dry season, were trapped mostly in +runways beneath a dense growth of grass underneath a rail fence.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Specimens examined.</i>—Total, 59, distributed, with respect to the town of Pátzcuaro, as +follows: 3½ mi. S, 7,900 ft., 9; 4 mi. S, 7,800 ft., 16; 5 mi. S, 7,800 ft., 26; 9 mi.

C. Wonder, original No. 1163.</p> + +<p><i>Range.</i>—Known only from Mount Tancitaro at elevations of 7,800 to 11,400 +feet.</p> + +<p><i>Diagnosis.</i>—Size medium (see measurements); color brown overlain with +cinnamon; premaxillary borders of nasals straight; superior outline of skull +nearly straight; posterior margin of orbit at right angle with long axis of skull; +zygomatic arches bowed outward; incisive foramina wide; tympanic bullae +small.</p> + +<p><i>Comparisons.</i>—From topotypes of its nearest relative, <i>Microtus mexicanus +phaeus</i> Merriam, <i>salvus</i> differs as follows: Tail shorter; pelage with slightly +more buffy (reddish) pigment which, nevertheless, is of a lighter tint; premaxillary +borders of nasals straight rather than concave; superior outline of +skull more nearly straight (less convex); inferior border of rostrum more +nearly straight (less concave distally); palatal fossae uniformly shallower.</p> + +<p>Comparison with <i>M. m. fundatus</i> is made in the account of that subspecies.</p></div> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_427" id="Page_427">[Pg 427]</a></span></p> + +<p><i>Remarks.</i>—The degree of difference between <i>M. m. salvus</i> and +<i>M. m. fundatus</i> exceeds that between <i>M. m. salvus</i> and <i>M. m. phaeus</i> +or that between <i>M. m. fundatus</i> and <i>M. m. mexicanus</i>.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Specimens examined.</i>—Total, 14, from Mount Tancitaro, Michoacán, distributed, according +to elevation above sea level, as follows: 11,400 feet, 8; 11,000 ft., 2; 7,800 ft., 1; no +elevation recorded, 8.</p></div> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Measurements of the two subspecies.</i>—Average and extreme measurements +of ten adult males of <i>M. m. fundatus</i> and eight adult males of <i>M. m. salvus</i>, +are, respectively, as follows: Total length, 147 (135-158), 141 (134-146); length +of tail, 33.4 (30-39), 29.6 (25-32); length of hind foot, 21.1 (20-22), 20.0 (18-21); +condylobasal length, 27.7 (27.0-29.0), 25.9 (25.5-26.2); occipitonasal length, 27.5 (26.8-28.5), +25.7 (25.3-26.0); length of nasals, 8.0 (7.7-8.4), 7.5 (6.9-8.1); zygomatic +breadth, 16.4 (15.9-17.2), 15.0 (14.6-15.3); interorbital breadth, 3.7 (3.5-3.9), 3.5 (3.3-3.6); +mastoid breadth, 12.7 (12.2-13.2), 11.7 (11.7-11.7); alveolar length of +upper molar series, 7.0 (6.8-7.3), 6.7 (6.5-6.9); width of rostrum, 5.7 (5.1-5.9), +5.3 (5.3-5.3); palatilar length, 13.3 (12.7-14.3), 12.6 (11.9-12.9).

RAYMOND HALL + + +In preparing a list of kinds of mammals of which specimens have been +saved from the Mexican state of Michoacan, two heretofore unrecognized +subspecies of the Mexican meadow mouse, _Microtus mexicanus_, have been +found. Names for these and descriptions are given below. + + + #Microtus mexicanus fundatus# new subspecies + + _Type._--Male, adult, skin and skull; No. 100637, Univ. + California Mus. Vert. Zool.; 3-1/2 mi. S Patzcuaro, 7,900 ft., + Michoacan, Mexico; March 9, 1943; obtained by E. R. Hall, + original no. 5882. + + _Range._--Known only from the vicinity of the type locality. + + _Diagnosis._--Size large (see measurements); color brown + overlain with cinnamon; nasals expanded distally with + premaxillary borders concave laterally; posterior border of + orbit inclined posterolaterally; preorbital region and + interparietal region depressed; incisive foramina narrow; + zygomatic arches parallel; tympanic bullae much inflated. + + _Comparisons._--Among named subspecies of _Microtus mexicanus_, + _M. m. fundatus_ most closely resembles _M. m. mexicanus_ but + differs as follows: Larger in all parts measured; pelage with + slightly less buffy color and with the buffy color that is + present of a slightly lighter tint; posterior two-thirds of + premaxillary border of each nasal concave rather than straight; + posterior border of orbit forming more acute angle with sagittal + plane of posterior part of skull; superior outline of nasals + straight rather than depressed in posterior part; tympanic + bullae more inflated both in vertical and horizontal planes. + + From _M. c. salvus_, the subspecies next to the westward, + _fundatus_ differs as follows: Averaging larger in all parts + measured; less reddish on upper parts; underparts with more + reddish color but the reddish of lighter tint; perineal region + buffy instead of plumbeous; nasals with premaxillary borders + laterally concave rather than straight; superior outline of + skull with nasal segment sloping anteroventrally and + interparietal segment sloping posteroventrally rather than + straight; posterior margin of orbit inclined posterolaterally + thus forming an acute angle, instead of a right angle, with + sagittal plane of braincase; zygomatic arches parallel rather + than bowed outward; incisive foramina narrower; tympanic bullae + more inflated in vertical plane. + + Relying on Bailey's (N. Amer. Fauna, 17:55, 1900) description of + _Microtus fulviventer_, _fundatus_ differs in much larger + tympanic bullae. + +_Remarks._--The series of 59 specimens includes individuals of several +ages of both sexes. This has been a great advantage in making +comparisons with individuals of geographically adjoining subspecies +since individuals of the same age and sex could be compared. When the +skulls are laid top-side down on a flat surface the occiput is much +higher than in _salvus_. + +Our specimens, taken in the dry season, were trapped mostly in runways +beneath a dense growth of grass underneath a rail fence. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 59, distributed, with respect to + the town of Patzcuaro, as follows: 3-1/2 mi. S, 7,900 ft., 9; + 4 mi. S, 7,800 ft., 16; 5 mi. S, 7,800 ft., 26; 9 mi. SE, 8,000 + ft., 8. + + [Illustration: FIGS. 1-6. Skulls of the type specimens of two + subspecies of _Microtus mexicanus_.

C. Wonder, original No. + 1163. + + _Range._--Known only from Mount Tancitaro at elevations of 7,800 + to 11,400 feet. + + _Diagnosis._--Size medium (see measurements); color brown + overlain with cinnamon; premaxillary borders of nasals straight; + superior outline of skull nearly straight; posterior margin of + orbit at right angle with long axis of skull; zygomatic arches + bowed outward; incisive foramina wide; tympanic bullae small. + + _Comparisons._--From topotypes of its nearest relative, + _Microtus mexicanus phaeus_ Merriam, _salvus_ differs as + follows: Tail shorter; pelage with slightly more buffy (reddish) + pigment which, nevertheless, is of a lighter tint; premaxillary + borders of nasals straight rather than concave; superior outline + of skull more nearly straight (less convex); inferior border of + rostrum more nearly straight (less concave distally); palatal + fossae uniformly shallower. + + Comparison with _M. m. fundatus_ is made in the account of that + subspecies. + +_Remarks._--The degree of difference between _M. m. salvus_ and _M. m. +fundatus_ exceeds that between _M. m. salvus_ and _M. m. phaeus_ or that +between _M. m. fundatus_ and _M. m. mexicanus_. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 14, from Mount Tancitaro, + Michoacan, distributed, according to elevation above sea level, + as follows: 11,400 feet, 8; 11,000 ft., 2; 7,800 ft., 1; no + elevation recorded, 8. + + _Measurements of the two subspecies._--Average and extreme + measurements of ten adult males of _M. m. fundatus_ and eight + adult males of _M. m. salvus_, are, respectively, as follows: + Total length, 147 (135-158), 141 (134-146); length of tail, 33.4 + (30-39), 29.6 (25-32); length of hind foot, 21.1 (20-22), 20.0 + (18-21); condylobasal length, 27.7 (27.0-29.0), 25.9 + (25.5-26.2); occipitonasal length, 27.5 (26.8-28.5), 25.7 + (25.3-26.0); length of nasals, 8.0 (7.7-8.4), 7.5 (6.9-8.1); + zygomatic breadth, 16.4 (15.9-17.2), 15.0 (14.6-15.3); + interorbital breadth, 3.7 (3.5-3.9), 3.5 (3.3-3.6); mastoid + breadth, 12.7 (12.2-13.2), 11.7 (11.7-11.7); alveolar length of + upper molar series, 7.0 (6.8-7.3), 6.7 (6.5-6.9); width of + rostrum, 5.7 (5.1-5.9), 5.3 (5.3-5.3); palatilar length, 13.3 + (12.7-14.3), 12.6 (11.9-12.9).
