An Annotated Check List of the Mammals of Michoacán, México
Hall, E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond)
Mammals -- Mexico -- Michoacán de Ocampo
_Range._--"Known only from the upper slopes of the mountains in the
vicinity of the type locality" (Goldman, 1938:211).
_Remarks._--As we drove an automobile from Pátzcuaro to Tacámbaro we
noted mounds made by pocket gophers along the road in the highest part
of the pass and supposed that these mounds were made by _Zygogeomys_
although we took no specimens of any kind of pocket gopher in the
pass.
=Zygogeomys trichopus trichopus= Merriam
Michoacán Pocket Gopher; Spanish, Tuza de Michoacán; Tarascan,
Cúmu (Cŏmŏ)

ft., 1.
_Remarks._--The upper parts of specimens available to us are rich
Seal-Brown and glossy. The chin, and in most specimens, the upper side
