An Annotated Check List of the Mammals of Michoacán, México
Hall, E. Raymond (Eugene Raymond)
Mammals -- Mexico -- Michoacán de Ocampo
_Specimens examined_, 14: nos. 8688, 52131-52141, 100076, 100077,
distributed by localities as follows: Pátzcuaro, 1; 4 mi. S Pátzcuaro,
7,800 ft., 2; Mount Tancítaro (7,800 ft., 8; 9,500 ft., 1; 9,600 ft.,
1; 10,000 ft., 1), 11.
_Remarks._--Two males from Mount Tancítaro, with much worn teeth,
catalogue nos. 52132 and 52138, measure, respectively, as follows:
Total length, 122, 114; length of tail, 46, 43; length of hind foot,
15, 14; condylobasal length, 18.4, 18.3; palatal length, 8.0, 7.3;
cranial breadth, 9.4, 9.2; least interorbital breadth, 3.7, 3.8;
maxillary breadth, 5.5, 5.5; maxillary tooth-row, 6.8, 6.7. The long
palate in no. 52132 and the broad brain case in both specimens appear
to be only individual variations or possibly variations correlated
with the advanced age of the two animals since in other features they
do not differ from specimens which are smaller in these two
dimensions. Jackson (1928:156) records specimens of this shrew from
Mount Patambán and Nahuatzin.
=Cryptotis pergracilis pergracilis= (Elliot)
Short-tailed Shrew; Spanish, Musaraña Colicorta
_Blarina pergracilis_ Elliot, Field Columb. Mus., publ. 71,
zoöl. ser., 3:149, February, 1903, type from Ocotlan, Jalisco,
México.
_Cryptotis pergracilis pergracilis_, Miller, Proc. Biol. Soc.
Washington, 24:223, October 31, 1911.
_Range._--Probably statewide.
_Specimen examined_, 1: no. 1721 B. Villa R. from Colonia Ibarra,
Pátzcuaro.
_Remarks._--Our one specimen, originally a mount, proves to have a
crushed brain case. The specimen was saved on March 10, 1944, by P.
Luna, who in March, 1943, told one of us (Hall) that many of these
shrews fell into the cement fish-rearing tanks at the biological
station situated at Colonia Ibarra, a suburb of Pátzcuaro, on the
shore of Lake Pátzcuaro. We are indebted to Dr. H. H. T. Jackson for
examining our specimen and assigning a name to it.
