Richardson, original no. 2148. _Range._--Known only from the type locality. _Diagnosis._--Size medium (see measurements). Color pale, entire dorsal surface Pinkish Buff, purest on sides and flanks, dorsal surface but slightly suffused with black; pinnae of ears, plantar surfaces of hind feet, dorsal and ventral stripes of tail light-brownish. Skull medium in size; nasals long; rostrum relatively as well as actually wide; least interorbital breadth wide; auditory bullae relatively little inflated; braincase but slightly vaulted; external auditory meatus ovoid; zygomatic arches relatively robust and but slightly bowed laterad; pterygoid fossae subcircular; lacrimal processes small; foramen magnum deeply notched on dorsal border. _Comparisons._--From _Dipodomys ordii ordii_, _D. o. extractus_ differs as follows: Size larger; color lighter; arietiform marks absent in _D. o. extractus_ but pronounced in _D. o. ordii_; skull larger; rostrum wider; nasals longer; re inflated laterally; braincase less vaulted; pterygoid fossae subcircular as opposed to circular; foramen magnum more deeply evaginated dorsally and ventrally.
