three counties mentioned above. A description of _Scalopus aquaticus texanus_ Allen follows: =Scalopus aquaticus texanus= Allen _Scalops argentatus texanus_ Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 3:221, April 29, 1891. _Type._--Sex unknown, adult, skin no. 3488, skull no. 2740, Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.; Presidio County, Texas; September, 1887, obtained by Wm. Lloyd. _Range._--Limits of range in Trans-Pecos Texas unknown. _Diagnosis._--Size small; rostrum heavy and broad; lower jaws heavy; palatine space wide with upper tooth-rows arched laterally; teeth large, especially fourth premolar and molars. _Comparison._--From adults of comparable age from Rockport, Aransas County, Texas, _S. a. texanus_ differs in: Rostrum broader and heavier; lower jaws heavier; palatine space wider, with upper tooth-rows more arched laterally; individual teeth in both jaws larger, especially fourth premolar and molars. From _S. a. intermedius_, which is geographically nearest to the northeast (adult specimens from Meade, Clark and Barber counties, Kansas, and Dewey County, Oklahoma), _S. a. texanus_ differs in: Size smaller; rostrum less massive and shorter; tooth-row shorter. _Remarks._--The type has been previously examined by True (_op. cit._:44). The skin is faded and of little taxonomic worth. The anterior part of the skull is present along with both upper tooth-rows and most of the lower jaws. The teeth are well worn, indicative of old adulthood. In size, _S. a. texanus_ appears closest to moles from southern Texas (Rockport) which previously were assigned to the subspecies _Scalopus aquaticus texanus_. The tooth-rows are of the same length, but the individual teeth of _S. a. texanus_ are significantly larger. The moles in southern Texas previously ascribed to _Scalopus aquaticus texanus_ seem to be without a name and may be known as follows: =Scalopus aquaticus alleni= new subspecies _Scalops texanus_, Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 5:200, August 18, 1893. _Scalops aquaticus texanus_ True, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 19:21, December 21, 1896. _Scalopus aquaticus texanus_ Jackson, N. Amer. Fauna, 38:50, September 30, 1915; Miller, U. S. Nat. Mus., Bull. 128:15, April 29, 1924; Davis, Amer. Midl. Nat., 27:386, March, 1942. _Type._--Male, adult, skin no. 7189, skull no. 5788, Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.; Rockport, Aransas County, Texas; 29 January 1893; obtained by H. P. Attwater. _Range._--Southern Texas, north to Bexar County and east to Refugio County (see Davis, _loc. cit._).
