This is part of a large survey of small mammals collected between 1952 and 1955 by the 'Servico Nacional da Peste' (SNP — 'National Plague Service', Brazil), and deposited in the mammal collection of the Museu Nacional (UFRJ), in Rio de Janeiro. Specimens were allocated according to the five age classes defined by Brandt & Pessoa (1994) on the basis of the occlusal surface wear of molars. Fifteen cranial dimensions, fourteen of which as defined in Brandt & Pessoa (1994), were measured in all individuals as follows: greatest length of skull (GLS); basilar length (BL) (here measured from the posterior margins of the alveoli of the upper incisors to the anteriormost point of the lower border of the foramen magnum); nasal length (NL); zygomatic breadth (ZB); diastema length (D); maxillary toothrow length (MTRL); palatal length (PL); incisive foramen length (IFL); rostral depth (RD); rostral length (RL); rostral breadth (RB); maxillary breadth (MaxB); braincase depth (BD); least interorbital constriction (IOC); mandibular length (ML) (Fig. 1)..
