On their map 471 Hall and Kelson (1959:927) show a total of five subspecies of _Taxidea taxus_. They include the northern part of Tamaulipas in the geographic range of _T. t. berlandieri_. On page 926 Hall and Kelson (_op. cit._) list ten additional subspecies described by Schantz. One of them _T. t. littoralis_ (Schantz, 1949:301) was based on specimens from southeastern Texas and Matamoros, Tamaulipas. Of the two specimens examined by me the one from the barrier beach is here assigned to _T. l. littoralis_ on geographic grounds, and the other one from the vicinity of San Carlos to _T. l. berlandieri_. =Taxidea taxus berlandieri= Baird 1858. _Taxidea berlandieri_ Baird, Mammals, in Repts. Expl. Surv. ..., 8(1):205, July 14, type from Llano Estacado, Texas, near boundary of New Mexico. 1895. _Taxidea taxus berlandieri_, J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 7:256, June 29. _Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Reported from only one locality, in northwestern part of state. The skull examined, of an adult male, differs from Coahuilan and New Mexican skulls in having a broad rostrum, better developed sagittal and lambdoidal crests, and smaller tympanic bullae. The measurements are greater than those given by Schantz (1949:302) for _T. l. littoralis_ and it is for that reason that the skull examined is assigned to _T. l. berlandieri_. _Measurements._--The adult male measured as follows: 710; 115; 110; 55; condylobasal length, 123.1; zygomatic breadth, 81.1; mastoid breadth, 75.5; interorbital constriction, 29.3; least postorbital constriction, 27.6; length of maxillary tooth-row, 42.7; P4, length, 11.9, width, 10.7; M1, length, 11.7, width, 11.7; tympanic bulla, length, 23.3, depth (from basioccipital), 12.8. _Record of occurrence._--One specimen examined from 12 mi. S San Carlos, 1300 ft. =Taxidea taxus littoralis= Schantz 1949. _Taxidea taxus littoralis_ Schantz, Jour. Mamm., 30:301, August 17, type from Corpus Christi, Nueces Co., Texas. _Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Known only from two localities in northeastern part of state. _Records of occurrence._--One specimen examined from 33 mi. S Washington Beach. Additional record: Matamoros (Schantz, 1949:302). =Spilogale putorius interrupta= (Rafinesque) Eastern Spotted Skunk 1820. _Mephitis interrupta_ Rafinesque, Ann. Nat. ..., 1:3. Type locality, Upper Missouri River?. 1952. _Spilogale putorious interrupta_, McCarley, Texas Jour. Sci., 4:108, March 30. _Distribution in Tamaulipas._--From Sierra de Tamaulipas northward. The young male from La Pesca weighed 480 grams. In the Sierra de Tamaulipas a lactating female was taken (June 9) in a steel trap. A young male from there weighed 275 grams. The young male from three miles north of La Pesca weighed 520 grams.
