1933. _Felis onca veraecrucis_ Nelson and Goldman, Jour.
Mamm., 14:236, August 17, type from San Andres Tuxtla,
Veracruz.
_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Originally all of state; now
restricted to sparsely populated areas.
Only one cranium, from the Sierra de Tamaulipas, was examined. It is in
good condition but lacks all the teeth except P3 and P4 on the right
side. The measurements are larger than those given by Goodwin (1954:15)
for a skull from five miles north of Gomez Farias.
_Measurements._--The cranium, sex undetermined, from the
Sierra de Tamaulipas, affords measurements as follows:
greatest length, 238.0; condylobasal length, 204.0;
zygomatic breadth, 166.0; breadth of rostrum, 66.1;
interorbital constriction, 48.2; mastoid breadth, 100.7;
crown length of carnassial, 24.1.
_Records of occurrence._--One specimen examined from Sierra
de Tamaulipas, 2 mi. S, 10 mi. W Piedra.
Additional records: between Aldama and Soto la Marina
(Nelson and Goldman, 1933:237); 5 km. N Gomez Farias
(Goodwin, 1954:15).
