Part 3

Specimens examined, 14: nos. 8688, 52131-52141, 100076, 100077, distributed by localities as follows: PAitzcuaro, 1; 4 mi. S PAitzcuaro, 7,800 ft., 2; Mount TancA-taro (7,800 ft., 8; 9,500 ft., 1; 9,600 ft., 1; 10,000 ft., 1), 11.

Remarks.--Two males from Mount TancA-taro, with much worn teeth, catalogue nos. 52132 and 52138, measure, respectively, as follows: Total length, 122, 114; length of tail, 46, 43; length of hind foot, 15, 14; condylobasal length, 18.4, 18.3; palatal length, 8.0, 7.3; cranial breadth, 9.4, 9.2; least interorbital breadth, 3.7, 3.8; maxillary breadth, 5.5, 5.5; maxillary tooth-row, 6.8, 6.7. The long palate in no. 52132 and the broad brain case in both specimens appear to be only individual variations or possibly variations correlated with the advanced age of the two animals since in other features they do not differ from specimens which are smaller in these two dimensions. Jackson (1928:156) records specimens of this shrew from Mount PatambAin and Nahuatzin.

=Cryptotis pergracilis pergracilis= (Elliot)

Short-tailed Shrew; Spanish, MusaraA+-a Colicorta

Blarina pergracilis Elliot, Field Columb. Mus., publ. 71, zoAśl. ser., 3:149, February, 1903, type from Ocotlan, Jalisco, MA(C)xico.

Cryptotis pergracilis pergracilis, Miller, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 24:223, October 31, 1911.

Range.--Probably statewide.

Specimen examined, 1: no. 1721 B. Villa R. from Colonia Ibarra, PAitzcuaro.

Remarks.--Our one specimen, originally a mount, proves to have a crushed brain case. The specimen was saved on March 10, 1944, by P. Luna, who in March, 1943, told one of us (Hall) that many of these shrews fell into the cement fish-rearing tanks at the biological station situated at Colonia Ibarra, a suburb of PAitzcuaro, on the shore of Lake PAitzcuaro. We are indebted to Dr. H. H. T. Jackson for examining our specimen and assigning a name to it.

=Balantiopteryx plicata= Peters

Sac-winged Bat; Spanish, MurciA(C)lago Sacoptero; Tarascan word for bat is HuasA-s (Wasis)

Balantiopteryx plicata Peters, Monatsber. k. preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, p. 476, 1867, type from Puntaarenas, Costa Rica.

Range.--Statewide.

Specimens examined, 2: nos. 52224, 52225, from Apatzingan, 1,040 ft.

Remarks.--This bat is a cave dweller, not infrequently found roosting with other species.

=Glossophaga soricina leachii= (Gray)

Long-tongued Bat; Spanish, MurciA(C)lago SiricotA(C)ro

Monophyllus leachii Gray, Voyage of the Sulphur, ZoAśl., 1:18, 1844, type from Realejo, Nicaragua.

Glossophaga soricina leachii, Miller, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 46:419, December 31, 1913.

Range.--Statewide.

Specimens examined, 4: nos. 11377, Univ. Kan., and alcoholic specimens nos. 950-952 B. Villa R. field numbers, I. B. (specimens in Instituto de BiologA-a, Univ. de MA(C)xico), distributed by localities as follows: Hacienda El Sabino, MichoacAin, approximately 25 mi. S Uruapan, 1; El Guayabo, 34 kms. S Uruapan, 3.

Remarks.--Specimens from El Guayabo were taken in a natural cave which they shared with Desmodus rotundus murinus and Artibeus planirostris planirostris.

The length of the thumb averages 7.4 mm. (7.0 to 7.7). As compared with G. s. alticola from northeast Tlaxcala according to the description given by Davis (1944:377), our specimens agree with alticola in length of thumb. In all other characters they correspond to leachii.

=Choeronycteris mexicana= Tschudi

Long-tongued Bat; Spanish, MurciA(C)lago Carilargo

Choeronycteris mexicana Tschudi, Fauna Peruana, p. 72, 1844, type from MA(C)xico.
