If _Geomys lutescens major_ Davis is correctly judged to intergrade with
_Geomys bursarius majusculus_ Swenk, the name for the full species will
be _Geomys bursarius_ because _bursarius_ is the oldest name among those
available. Some new combinations of names are required. According to our
present understanding, the eleven kinds of pocket gophers named below
are properly to be arranged as subspecies of the species _Geomys
bursarius_:

in Upper Mississippi Valley.
