8700, 8702, 8703, 8896, 8897, distributed by localities as follows: 8
mi. N Zamora, 5,500 ft., 2; 11 mi. W Zamora, 5,750 ft., 11; 6-1/2 mi.

at Zamora, intermediate, 21 (19-23), at Pátzcuaro, and longest, 21.8
(20-23), at the type locality of _gratus_ in the Valley of México.
=Peromyscus melanophrys zamorae= Osgood
Blackish Mouse; Spanish, Ratón Obscuro
_Peromyscus melanophrys zamorae_ Osgood, Proc. Biol. Soc.
Washington, 17:65, March 21, 1904, type from Zamora,
Michoacán; N. Amer. Fauna, 28:187, April 17, 1909.
_Range._--Northern part of state.
_Remarks._--Insofar as we know, this mouse has been taken in Michoacán
only at the type locality.
=Peromyscus banderanus banderanus= Allen
Tarascan Mouse; Spanish, Ratón Tarasco
_Peromyscus banderanus_ Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.,
9:51, March 15, 1897, type from Valle de Banderas, Nayarit;
Osgood, Jour. Mamm., 26:300, November 14, 1945.
_Peromyscus banderanus vicinior_ Osgood, N. Amer. Fauna,
28:209, 210, April 17, 1909, part.
_Range._--Northern and eastern parts of state.
_Remarks._--Specimens from Los Reyes referred to the subspecies _P. b.
vicinior_ by Osgood (1909:209-210) were later characterized by Osgood
(1945:300) as agreeing with specimens from Zitácuaro, and Osgood
(_loc. cit._) thought that those from both Los Reyes and Zitácuaro
were not _P. b. vicinior_ but possibly _P. b. banderanus_. He had this
material set aside for further study when he showed it to one of us
(Hall) in 1945. It was his intention to revise the entire species (_P.
banderanus_) but so far we know never did this before his death.
