_Oryzomys rostratus_ Merriam, Proc. Washington Acad. Sci.,
3:293, July 26, 1901. (Type from Metlaltoyuca, Pueblo,
Mexico.)
_Specimen examined_, 1 from 70 km. [by highway] S Ciudad
Victoria and 2 km. W El Carrizo.
_Remarks._--This immature male is paler than specimens of _O. r.
rostratus_ from the state of Veracruz. This locality extends the known
range of this species northward a distance of approximately 100 miles.
Previously it had been recorded from only as far north as Alta Mira,
Tamaulipas (Goldman, N. Amer. Fauna, 43:54, September 23, 1918). This
specimen was trapped on February 16 in a rodent runway in dense grass
in a fallow cane field.
