Type-locality.—San Pedro Martir Mountains, Lower California. (Type, skin and skull (fig. 10). No. HW, U. S. National Museum.) Geographical range.—Boreal zone of mountains of southern and Lower California. Description.—Three specimens in the Y. S. National Museum col- lection (Nos. kfffi Bfflh and HW)3 from the San Pedro Martir Mountains, Lower Califor- nia, collected by Mr. Charles II. Townsend, in April and May. L889, have the pelage short and coarse, and are dis- tinctly paler and more hoary than S. hudsonicus califor- nicus from central Califor- nia. The April specimen (No. 18205. female adult) has the reddish vertebral stripe tolerably distinct, with yellowish on nape and reddish on rump; but in the two" May specimens, proba- bly males, though the sex is not indicated, this is less dis- tinct, the color being pepper- and - salt. suffused with tawny ochraceous above. In all three specimens the black stripe at the side is strongly marked, as much so as in the subspecies califomiciis. The ears are heavily tufted with black. The under parts are white, with plumbeous at base. Feet yellowish white. All three are in winter coat, but molting had begun in No. L8267 and pro- ceeded irregularly over most of the fore limbs. On the mane the new hairs are strongly yellowish instead of soiled white; not molt- ing on hind feet. The tail is short and comparatively short-haired;.
