1938. _Felis concolor stanleyana_ Goldman, Proc. Biol. Soc.
Washington, 51:63, March 18 (renaming of _F. c. youngi_
Goldman, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 49:137, August 22,
type from Bruni Ranch, near Bruni, Webb Co., Texas).
_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Restricted to mountains of
state.
The two specimens examined are skulls only, which were picked up in the
field. In general the measurements are like those given by Goldman
(1946:233) for the males of _Felis concolor stanleyana_. But the skull
from Miquihuana yielded measurements that suggest intergradation
between _F. c. stanleyana_ and _F. c. azteca_ of the western mountains
of Tamaulipas.
_Measurements._--Two skulls, one from Miquihuana and the
second from 9-1/2 mi. SW Padilla, yield measurements as
follows: greatest length, 214.0, 213.0; condylobasal length,
195.0, 190.0; zygomatic breadth, 146.0, 140.1; height of
skull (frontals to palate), 70.0, 72.4; interorbital
constriction, 41.6, 41.4; breadth of nasals (at posterior
union between premaxilla and maxilla), 20.1, 17.9; length of
maxillary tooth-row, 62.7, 63.3; crown length of P3, 23.3,
----; breadth of P3, 11.9, 12.2; anteroposterior diameter of
upper canine, 15.1, 15.3.
_Records of occurrence._--Specimens examined, 2: 9-1/2 mi.
SW Padilla, 800 ft., 1; Miquihuana, 6400 ft., 1.
Additional records: Matamoros (Goldman, 1946:234); Zamorina
(Hooper, 1953:4).
