1904. _Lepus (Sylvilagus) parvulus_ J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer.

Mus. Nat. Hist., 20:34, February 29, type from Apam,

Hidalgo.

1909. _Sylvilagus audubonii parvulus_, Nelson, N. Amer.

Fauna, 29:236, August 31.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Western part of state.

The specimen examined, a male that weighed 646 grams, was shot at

night.

This species occurs only in western Tamaulipas. Hall and Kelson

(1959:267, map 187) mistakenly plotted El Mulato, as being in the

eastern part of the state; actually this locality is in the San Carlos

Mountains of the west, near the boundary between Tamaulipas and Nuevo

Leon.

_Records of occurrence._--One specimen examined from 4 mi.

SW Nuevo Laredo, 900 ft.

Additional records (Nelson, 1909:237, unless otherwise

noted): Nuevo Laredo; Guerrero; Mier; Camargo; El Mulato

(Dice, 1937:256); Miquihuana.
