~Blarina brevicauda minima~ Lowery Bailey (N. Amer. Fauna, 25:207, October 24, 1905) identified as _Blarina brevicauda carolinensis_ one specimen from Joaquin and two specimens from Big Thicket, 8 mi. NE Sour Lake, both localities in eastern Texas. Strecker and Williams (Jour. Mamm., 10:259, August 10, 1929) later recorded the specimens again under the same name. The subsequent naming of _B. b. plumbea_ from Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, Aransas County, Texas (Davis, Jour. Mamm., 22(3):317, August 14, 1941) and _B. b. minima_ from Louisiana (Lowery, Occas. Papers Mus. Zool., Louisiana St. Univ., 13:218, November 22, 1943) leaves the identity of the specimens from eastern Texas in doubt. We have examined the following specimens in the Biological Surveys Collection, U.S. National Museum: No. 117372, from Joaquin; No. 136407, from 7 mi. NE Sour Lake; and No. 136788, from 8 mi. NE Sour Lake. We judge these to be the specimens referred to by Bailey (_loc. cit._). We find that they are indistinguishable from specimens of _Blarina brevicauda minima_ and they seem to differ from _B. b. plumbea_ in being chestnut rather than plumbeous in color and in lacking the highly-arched posterior border of the palate. They are easily distinguished from _B. b. carolinensis_ by their chestnut, rather than slaty-black, color and small size. They are distinguishable from _B. b. hulophaga_, to which they might conceivably be referred on geographic grounds, by their color and small size. We refer them to _Blarina brevicauda minima_ Lowery. ~Spilogale angustifrons angustifrons~ A. H. Howell In his "Revision of the skunks of the genus Spilogale" (N. Amer. Fauna, 26, November 24, 1906) A. H. Howell identified certain specimens in the United States National Museum as follows: _Spilogale leucoparia_, [Male] sad. 55585 from Tulancingo, Hidalgo (_op. cit._:21). _Spilogale gracilis_, [Male] sad. 88154 from San Sebastian in Jalisco, [Male] ad. 79017 from Lagos in Jalisco, [Male] ad. 47177 from Pátzcuaro in Michoacán (_op. cit._:23). _Spilogale ambigua_, [Male] ad. 35667/20437 from Barranca Ibarra in Jalisco, [Male] yg. 120101 from Ocotlán in Jalisco (_op. cit._:25). Hall and Villa (Univ. Kansas Publ., Mus. Nat. Hist, 1:448, December 27, 1949) inferred that No. 47177 from Pátzcuaro was instead referable to _Spilogale angustifrons angustifrons_. Our examination of No. 47177 and of each of the other specimens mentioned by catalogue number immediately above leads us to conclude that they all are of one species, and that, among named kinds of _Spilogale_, they should be referred to the subspecies _Spilogale angustifrons angustifrons_ Howell.
