RAYMOND HALL AND H. GORDON MONTAGUE</h4> + + +<p>In the academic year of 1947-48 Montague studied the geographic +variation in <i>Thomomys talpoides</i> of Wyoming. His study +was based upon materials then in the University of Kansas Museum +of Natural History. Publication of the results was purposely +delayed until previously reported specimens from certain adjacent +areas, especially in Colorado, could be examined. In the autumn +of 1950 one of us, Hall, was able to examine the specimens from +Colorado; also, the specimens from Wyoming accumulated in the +past two seasons of field work in Wyoming were examined by +Hall. A result of these studies is the recognition of two heretofore +unnamed subspecies of the northern pocket gopher in southeastern +Wyoming.</p> + +<p>Grateful acknowledgment is made of the opportunity to study the +Coloradon specimens in the Biological Surveys Collection of the +United States National Museum, and of the financial assistance +from the Kansas University Endowment Association which permitted +the field work in Wyoming.</p> + +<p>Descriptions and names for the two new subspecies are given +below:</p> + +<p> +<br /> +<br /> +</p> + +<p class="center"><b>Thomomys talpoides rostralis</b> new subspecies</p> + +<div class="blockquot"> +<p><i>Type</i>.—Female, adult, skull and skin, no. 17096 Mus. Nat. Hist., Univ. +Kansas; from 1 mi. E Laramie, 7164 ft., Albany County, Wyoming; obtained on +July 16, 1945, by C. Howard Westman; original no. 320.</p> + +<p><i>Range</i>.—Southern Wyoming and south in the mountains of Colorado to the +Arkansas River but not including the Colorado River drainage except in Grand +County and part of Routt County.</p> + +<p><i>Diagnosis</i>.—Size medium (see measurements); upper parts ranging from +between Cinnamon-Rufous and Hazel (capitalized terms are of Ridgway, Color +Standards and Color Nomenclature, Washington, D. C., 1912) in the eastern +part of the range to between Argus Brown and Brussels Brown in the western +part of the range; sides Cinnamon-Rufous; throat whitish; remainder of under-parts +whitish, in many specimens tipped with Ochraceous-Buff; feet and tail +whitish; rostrum long; nasals ordinarily truncate posteriorly; temporal ridges +nearly parallel; interpterygoid space broadly V-shaped.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span></p> + +<p><i>Comparisons</i>.—From <i>Thomomys talpoides clusius</i> (topotypes), <i>T. t. rostralis</i> +differs in: Body longer; color more reddish (lighter with less brownish +and more ochraceous); rostrum both longer and broader, actually and also in +relation to length of the skull; skull broader interorbitally; upper molariform +tooth-row longer; tympanic bullae less inflated. For comparison with <i>T. t. attenuatus</i> +to the east, see the account of that subspecies.</p> + +<p>From <i>Thomomys talpoides macrotis</i> (topotypes) to the southeast, <i>T. t. rostralis</i> +differs in: Body shorter; upper parts slightly more ochraceous and less +grayish; skull averaging smaller in all measurements except that interorbital +region is broader and rostrum and upper molariform tooth-row are longer; +nasals truncate versus emarginate, and consistently shorter; basilar length +consistently less in specimens of equal age; mastoidal breadth less in 16 of 17 +specimens of <i>rostralis</i>; temporal ridges parallel instead of divergent posteriorly; +exposed parts of upper incisors shorter; tympanic bullae more angular antero-laterally.</p> + +<p>From <i>Thomomys talpoides fossor</i> (specimens from Rico, Silverton, Hermit +and Pagosa Springs, all in Colorado), the subspecies to the southward, <i>T. t. rostralis</i> +differs in: Longer body; lighter color of upper parts; nasals truncate +rather than rounded posteriorly; temporal ridges more nearly parallel (less divergent +posteriorly); rostrum longer (averaging longer and broader); skull +wider across zygomatic arches in 11 of 12 specimens of <i>rostralis</i>.</p></div> + +<p><i>Remarks</i>.—Geographic variation is evident in the material examined. +In the initial study, one of us, Montague, separated the +material from the Medicine Bow Range in Wyoming as a subspecies +different from that at Laramie and the adjoining mountains +to the eastward because of the darker color of the western animals +and the smaller size of males. Acquisition of more material from +still farther west (Sierra Madre) in Wyoming and the examination +of material in the United States Biological Surveys Collection from +Colorado discloses that there is a cline of increasing intensity of +color from the geographic range of <i>T. t. cheyennensis</i> at Pine Bluffs, +Wyoming, westward to the eastern side of the Sierra Madre at a +locality three miles east and five miles north of Savery, Wyoming. +A further deterrent to setting apart the animals of the Medicine +Bow Mountains as a separate subspecies is the large size of males +from the North Platte River Valley southeast of Saratoga. The +males from the valley of the North Platte are intermediate in size +between those from the Medicine Bow Mountains and those from +the Laramie River Valley. Females from the same places are available +in longer series and show less variation. If there is a difference +in size in the females, those from the mountains are larger than +those from lower elevations on either side.</p> + +<p>The examination that one of us, Hall, has made of the related materials +from Colorado reveals, as we supposed would be the case,<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span> +that a large area formerly assigned to the geographic range of +<i>Thomomys talpoides fossor</i> is to be assigned to the geographic +range of the newly named <i>Thomomys talpoides rostralis</i>. It should +be added that, at this writing, the lack of ideally complete material +from southwestern Colorado leaves some doubt as to the range of +variation properly to be included within the geographic range of +<i>T. t. fossor</i>. Consequently, study of a larger number of specimens +from more localities in Colorado may show that the boundary between +the geographic ranges of <i>T. t. fossor</i> and <i>T. t. rostralis</i> should +be shifted from where we have tentatively placed it.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Specimens examined</i>.—Total number, 168.

Intergradation with +<i>T. t. bullatus</i> or <i>T. t. clusius</i> or both is suggested by the larger size +of the specimen from five miles southwest of Wheatland, Wyoming. +Although large, this skull has the slender proportions of <i>attenuatus</i> +to which the specimen is tentatively referred. Although the specimens +from Avalo, Colorado, are typical <i>attenuatus</i>, the specimen +from Pawnee Buttes, Colorado, is somewhat larger than typical +<i>attenuatus</i> and suggests intergradation with the subspecies to the +southward, for example, at Flagler, Colorado.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p><i>Specimens examined</i>.—Total number, 44, and unless otherwise indicated in +the Museum of Natural History of the University of Kansas.</p> + +<p><b>Wyoming</b>. <i>Niobrara County</i>: 10 mi.

RAYMOND HALL AND H. GORDON MONTAGUE + + +In the academic year of 1947-48 Montague studied the geographic +variation in _Thomomys talpoides_ of Wyoming. His study was based upon +materials then in the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History. +Publication of the results was purposely delayed until previously +reported specimens from certain adjacent areas, especially in Colorado, +could be examined. In the autumn of 1950 one of us, Hall, was able to +examine the specimens from Colorado; also, the specimens from Wyoming +accumulated in the past two seasons of field work in Wyoming were +examined by Hall. A result of these studies is the recognition of two +heretofore unnamed subspecies of the northern pocket gopher in +southeastern Wyoming. + +Grateful acknowledgment is made of the opportunity to study the +Coloradon specimens in the Biological Surveys Collection of the United +States National Museum, and of the financial assistance from the Kansas +University Endowment Association which permitted the field work in +Wyoming. + +Descriptions and names for the two new subspecies are given below: + + +=Thomomys talpoides rostralis= new subspecies + +_Type._--Female, adult, skull and skin, no. 17096 Mus. Nat. Hist., Univ. +Kansas; from 1 mi. E Laramie, 7164 ft., Albany County, Wyoming; obtained +on July 16, 1945, by C. Howard Westman; original no. 320. + +_Range._--Southern Wyoming and south in the mountains of Colorado to the +Arkansas River but not including the Colorado River drainage except in +Grand County and part of Routt County. + +_Diagnosis._--Size medium (see measurements); upper parts ranging from +between Cinnamon-Rufous and Hazel (capitalized terms are of Ridgway, +Color Standards and Color Nomenclature, Washington, D. C., 1912) in the +eastern part of the range to between Argus Brown and Brussels Brown in +the western part of the range; sides Cinnamon-Rufous; throat whitish; +remainder of under-parts whitish, in many specimens tipped with +Ochraceous-Buff; feet and tail whitish; rostrum long; nasals ordinarily +truncate posteriorly; temporal ridges nearly parallel; interpterygoid +space broadly V-shaped. + +_Comparisons._--From _Thomomys talpoides clusius_ (topotypes), _T. t. +rostralis_ differs in: Body longer; color more reddish (lighter with +less brownish and more ochraceous); rostrum both longer and broader, +actually and also in relation to length of the skull; skull broader +interorbitally; upper molariform tooth-row longer; tympanic bullae less +inflated. For comparison with _T. t. attenuatus_ to the east, see the +account of that subspecies. + +From _Thomomys talpoides macrotis_ (topotypes) to the southeast, _T. t. +rostralis_ differs in: Body shorter; upper parts slightly more +ochraceous and less grayish; skull averaging smaller in all measurements +except that interorbital region is broader and rostrum and upper +molariform tooth-row are longer; nasals truncate versus emarginate, and +consistently shorter; basilar length consistently less in specimens of +equal age; mastoidal breadth less in 16 of 17 specimens of _rostralis_; +temporal ridges parallel instead of divergent posteriorly; exposed parts +of upper incisors shorter; tympanic bullae more angular +antero-laterally. + +From _Thomomys talpoides fossor_ (specimens from Rico, Silverton, Hermit +and Pagosa Springs, all in Colorado), the subspecies to the southward, +_T. t. rostralis_ differs in: Longer body; lighter color of upper parts; +nasals truncate rather than rounded posteriorly; temporal ridges more +nearly parallel (less divergent posteriorly); rostrum longer (averaging +longer and broader); skull wider across zygomatic arches in 11 of 12 +specimens of _rostralis._ + +_Remarks._--Geographic variation is evident in the material examined. In +the initial study, one of us, Montague, separated the material from the +Medicine Bow Range in Wyoming as a subspecies different from that at +Laramie and the adjoining mountains to the eastward because of the +darker color of the western animals and the smaller size of males. +Acquisition of more material from still farther west (Sierra Madre) in +Wyoming and the examination of material in the United States Biological +Surveys Collection from Colorado discloses that there is a cline of +increasing intensity of color from the geographic range of _T. t. +cheyennensis_ at Pine Bluffs, Wyoming, westward to the eastern side of +the Sierra Madre at a locality three miles east and five miles north of +Savery, Wyoming. A further deterrent to setting apart the animals of the +Medicine Bow Mountains as a separate subspecies is the large size of +males from the North Platte River Valley southeast of Saratoga. The +males from the valley of the North Platte are intermediate in size +between those from the Medicine Bow Mountains and those from the Laramie +River Valley. Females from the same places are available in longer +series and show less variation. If there is a difference in size in the +females, those from the mountains are larger than those from lower +elevations on either side. + +The examination that one of us, Hall, has made of the related materials +from Colorado reveals, as we supposed would be the case, that a large +area formerly assigned to the geographic range of _Thomomys talpoides +fossor_ is to be assigned to the geographic range of the newly named +_Thomomys talpoides rostralis._ It should be added that, at this +writing, the lack of ideally complete material from southwestern +Colorado leaves some doubt as to the range of variation properly to be +included within the geographic range of _T. t. fossor._ Consequently, +study of a larger number of specimens from more localities in Colorado +may show that the boundary between the geographic ranges of _T. t. +fossor_ and _T. t. rostralis_ should be shifted from where we have +tentatively placed it. + +_Specimens examined._--Total number, 168. Unless otherwise indicated, +those from Colorado are in the United States National Museum, Biological +Surveys Collection, and those from Wyoming are in the Museum of Natural +History of the University of Kansas. + +=Colorado.= _Routt Co._: Hahns Peak, 2; Hayden, 1. _Jackson Co._ Pearle, +North Park, 9000 ft., 2; Canadian Creek, North Park, 6; 5 mi.

M.). + +_Additional records._--Bailey (N. Amer. Fauna, 39:101, 112, November 15, +1915) has recorded the following specimens, which on geographic grounds, +would presumably be referable to _Thomomys talpoides rostralis._ +COLORADO: Estes Park (referred by Bailey, p. 101, to _T. t. clusius_), +1; Colorado City, 1; Colorado Springs, 2-1/2 mi. N, 6000 ft., 1; +Colorado Springs, east of Palmer Park, 1; Montgomery, 3; Nederland, 4; +Teller County Divide, 1. These specimens have not been examined by us. + + +=Thomomys talpoides attenuatus= new subspecies + +_Type._--Male, adult, skull and skin, no. 15095 Mus. Nat. Hist., Univ. +Kansas; from 3-1/2 mi. W Horse Creek Post Office, 7000 ft., Laramie +County, Wyoming; obtained on July 16, 1945, by Henry W. Setzer; original +no. 629. + +_Range._--Southeastern Wyoming from Niobrara County south into Weld +County, Colorado. + +_Diagnosis._--Size small; color pale (whitish); skull smooth and, +relative to its length, slender; rostrum relatively long; nasals +truncate posteriorly; middle parts of zygomatic arches straight; +temporal ridges low and more widely separated in middle extent than at +anterior or posterior ends; tympanic bullae rounded and moderately +inflated; interpterygoid space V-shaped. + +_Comparisons._--From _Thomomys talpoides bullatus_ (topotypes) to the +northward, _T. t. attenuatus_ differs in smaller size, lighter (less +brownish, more whitish) color, smaller and slenderer skull. In detail, +some cranial features diagnostic of _attenuatus,_ when compared with +_bullatus,_ are: Anterolateral angle of zygoma less nearly a right +angle; temporal ridges bowed outward at middle, instead of straight, and +farther apart posteriorly than anteriorly instead of nearly parallel; +sides of basioccipital nearly straight instead of concave. + +From _Thomomys talpoides cheyennensis_ (holotype and Wyoming specimens +from: Pine Bluff; 1 mi. W Pine Bluffs, 5000 ft.; 12 mi. N and 1/2 mi. W +Pine Bluffs) to the eastward, _T. t. attenuatus_ differs in smaller size +throughout and more slender skull. The two subspecies are +indistinguishable in color. + +From _Thomomys talpoides macrotis_ (topotypes) to the southward, _T. t. +attenuatus_ differs in smaller size, slightly lighter (less brownish and +more whitish) color, smaller and slenderer skull. + +From _Thomomys talpoides rostralis_ (specimens from the type locality) +to the westward, _T. t. attenuatus_ differs in smaller size; lighter +(grayer, less brownish) color, smaller and less angular skull. + +From _Thomomys talpoides clusius_ (topotypes) to the northwestward, _T. +t. attenuatus_ differs in shorter body, slightly grayer color, less +width across mastoid region of skull, smaller tympanic bullae, and more +obtuse anterolateral angle on zygoma. + +_Remarks._--This subspecies is of smaller size than any of the +geographically adjoining subspecies. Intergradation with _T. t. +cheyennensis_ is shown by specimens from two miles south and nine and +one-half miles east of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Intergradation with _T. t. +bullatus_ or _T. t. clusius_ or both is suggested by the larger size of +the specimen from five miles southwest of Wheatland, Wyoming. Although +large, this skull has the slender proportions of _attenuatus_ to which +the specimen is tentatively referred. Although the specimens from Avalo, +Colorado, are typical _attenuatus,_ the specimen from Pawnee Buttes, +Colorado, is somewhat larger than typical _attenuatus_ and suggests +intergradation with the subspecies to the southward, for example, at +Flagler, Colorado. + +_Specimens examined._--Total number, 44, and unless otherwise indicated +in the Museum of Natural History of the University of Kansas. + +=Wyoming.= _Niobrara County_: 10 mi.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/29141.zip b/29141.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3c1df1c --- /dev/null +++ b/29141.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
