Alvarez, Ticul
Mammals -- Mexico -- Sinaloa (State)
The two individuals here reported fit fairly well the description
of color pattern given for the species by Van Gelder (_op. cit._:
379), but are larger (considering sex), externally and cranially,
than any of the four specimens reported previously. Measurements of
the male and female are, respectively: total length, 291, 270;
length of tail, 65, 58; length of hind foot, 38, 35; length of ear
from notch, 25, 23; weight in grams, 247.0, 190.5; condylobasal
length, 46.0, 42.9; occipitonasal length, 45.0, 41.4; zygomatic
breadth, 29.0, 27.3; mastoid breadth, 23.9, 22.5; interorbital
constriction, 14.3, 13.6; postorbital constriction, 14.8, 14.1;
palatilar length, 15.6, 14.6; postpalatal length, 23.2, 22.4;
cranial depth, 16.6, 15.2; length of maxillary tooth-row, 14.2,
13.4. Cranial measurements were taken in the manner described by
Van Gelder (_op. cit._: 236-237).
