Mexican Small-eared Shrew

1954. _Cryptotis mexicana madrea_ Goodwin, Amer. Mus.

Novit., 1670:1, June 28, type from Rancho del Cielo, 5 mi.

NW Gomez Farias, 3500 ft., Tamaulipas.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Known only from the type

locality and vicinity thereof.

This subspecies is known only from two complete specimens, six crania

and four rami collected in two different localities--the type locality

and Aserradero del Infernillo, only seven kilometers from the type

locality. All the specimens were examined and reported by Goodwin

(1954:1; 1954:4). The type specimen "was taken in a low section of an

overgrown ditch" and the other complete specimen was trapped in a stone

wall that separated an orchard from a pasture. The six skulls were

found in owl pellets.
