Bemarks.—The above description of this small mouse is based on four adults, taken near the type-locahty, April 7 to 29, 1892. Typical megalotis was found by us at only two points: A single specimen was taken east of the Mimbres Valley, in New Mexico, near Monument No. 15, about 50 miles west of the initial Monument; and three were afterwards taken at the Upper Corner Monument, about 100 miles west of the Rio Grande, and almost due north of Janos—the place where the species was first discovered by Dr. C. B. Kennerly, of the old Mexican Survey, under Major Emory. We did not succeed in getting any more specimens of the genus Reifhrodontomys until the survey party reached the Colorado River, whence it was abundant to the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
