Mammals -- Mexico -- Michoacán de Ocampo
_Peromyscus spicilegus evides_ Osgood, Proc. Biol. Soc.
Washington, 17:64, March 21, 1904, type from Juquila, Oaxaca.
_Peromyscus boylei evides_ Osgood, N. Amer. Fauna, 28:152,
April 17, 1909.
_Range._--Northern part of state.
_Specimens examined_, 22: nos. 100450-100471, distributed by
localities as follows: 1-1/2 mi. SSE Tacámbaro, 5,700 ft., 16; 1-3/4
mi S Tacámbaro, 5,700 ft., 1; 1 mi. E and 2-1/2 mi. S Tacámbaro, 4,700
ft., 5.
_Remarks._--Osgood (1909:153) recorded 31 specimens from Los Reyes.
Weights recorded by the collectors of our specimens for 13 males from
the vicinity of Tacámbaro, are 24.8 (17.2-37.1) and for 9 females 25.0
(20.0-31.5) grams. These weights include those of subadults as well as
those of adults.

Brash Mouse; Spanish, Ratón de Chaparral
_Peromyscus levipes_ Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington,
12:123, April 30, 1898, type from Mount Malinche, Tlaxcala.
_Peromyscus boylei levipes_, Osgood, N. Amer. Fauna, 28:153,
April 17, 1909.
_Range._--Probably central-eastern part of state.
_Remarks._--Osgood (1909:155) records one specimen of this subspecies
from Pátzcuaro.
=Peromyscus hylocetes= Merriam
Woods Mouse; Spanish, Ratón Ocotero
_Peromyscus hylocetes_ Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington,
12:124, April 30, 1898, type from Pátzcuaro, 7,000 feet,
Michoacán; Osgood, N. Amer. Fauna, 28:159, pl. 3, fig. 8,
April 17, 1909.
_Range._--Mountainous parts of state.
_Specimens examined_, 24: nos. 100472, 100542, both from 9 mi. SE
Pátzcuaro at 8,000 feet altitude; 1358-1365 of Bernardo Villa R., from
Cerro Curitzarán, 3.5 km. NNW San Juan, 2,200 M.; 52178, 52185,
52187-52192, 52197, 52198, 52203, 52213-52215, from Tancítaro at
elevations of 6,000 to 10,000 ft.
_Remarks._--All of the specimens were taken in pine forest. The old
male from nine miles southeast of Pátzcuaro weighs 43.7 grams and the
younger male from there 35 grams. The adults from Tancítaro have
longer diastemae and some have the braincase more prolonged
posteriorly, than in specimens from the vicinities of San Juan and
Pátzcuaro but individual variation is considerable and we are unable
to differentiate some of the adults from Tancítaro from those from
elsewhere.
