_Remarks._--In allusion to its habit of washing its food, in captivity at least, before eating it, the Spanish speaking people often refer to this species as _ositos labadores_. The specimen from 10 mi. ESE Zamora is a skull without lower jaws or indication of sex. Because the racoons damage corn in the roasting ear stage the animals are disliked by the farmers, a score of whom sometimes band together in an organized hunt to kill the animals. Dogs are especially trained to hunt them. In Michoacán no use is made of the pelts. =Nasua narica molaris= Merriam Coati; Spanish, Pizote; Tarascan, Amátze (Amatz) _Nasua narica molaris_ Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 15:68, March 22, 1902, type from Manzanillo, Colima; Goldman, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 55:79, June 25, 1942. _Range._--Probably all but higher parts of state. _Remarks._--We have no positive record of this animal which Goldman (1942:79) writes "is widely distributed from Jalisco south through Colima, Michoacán, ... to southwestern Oaxaca." In the parts of Michoacán visited by us the Spanish name tejón instead of pizote was used for this animal although in parts of México where the badger (_Taxidea_) occurs, tejón is, we understand, the name used for the badger. =Bassariscus astutus consitus= Nelson and Goldman Ring-tailed Cat; Spanish, Cacomixtle _Bassariscus astutus consitus_ Nelson and Goldman, Jour. Washington Acad. Sci., 22:487, October 19, 1932, type from La Salada, 40 mi. S Uruapan, Michoacán. _Range._--Probably greater part, or all, of state. _Specimen examined_, 1: no. 100112 from 3 mi. NW Pátzcuaro, 6,700 ft. _Remarks._--La Salada and three miles northwest of Pátzcuaro are the two localities represented by actual specimens. A live animal, at night, was seen one mile east and four miles south of Tacámbaro at 4,500 feet elevation. The young female from three miles northwest of Pátzcuaro was trapped at a break in a stone fence. Ring-tailed cats live in the stone walls, crevices and rocky ledges, around corn fields and pasture lands. =Mustela frenata leucoparia= (Merriam) Weasel; Spanish, Comadreja; Tarascan, Apásr or Apatzee (Apatz) _Putorius frenatus leucoparia_ Merriam, N. Amer. Fauna, 11:29, June 30, 1896, type from Pátzcuaro, Michoacán. _Mustela frenata leucoparia_, Miller, Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 79:100, December 31, 1912. _Range._--Probably statewide. _Specimens examined_, 6: in Biological Surveys Collection of U. S. Nat. Mus., nos. 120304, 125972, 34914/47179, 36855/49239, and 34915/47180; 2014 B. Villa R., I.B., distributed as follows: Zamora, 1; Los Reyes, 1; Pátzcuaro, 4. _Remarks._--This subspecies of weasel is notable for having, among American weasels of any kind, the maximum amount of white on the head. When collecting at Pátzcuaro we saw no live specimens but were shown several from there that had been recently mounted by P. Luna. He regarded the animal as not especially rare.
