_Nasua narica molaris_ Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington,
15:68, March 22, 1902, type from Manzanillo, Colima; Goldman,
Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 55:79, June 25, 1942.
_Range._--Probably all but higher parts of state.
_Remarks._--We have no positive record of this animal which Goldman
(1942:79) writes "is widely distributed from Jalisco south through
Colima, MichoacAin, ... to southwestern Oaxaca." In the parts of
MichoacAin visited by us the Spanish name tejA cubedn instead of pizote was
used for this animal although in parts of MA(C)xico where the badger
(_Taxidea_) occurs, tejA cubedn is, we understand, the name used for the
badger.
