_Mus alexandrinus_ Geoffroy, Catal. Mammif. du Mus. Nat.
d'Hist., Paris, p. 192, 1803, type from Alexandria, Egypt.
_R_[_attus_]. _rattus alexandrinus_, Hinton, Jour. Bombay Nat.
Hist. Soc., 26:63, December 20, 1918.
_Range._--Probably throughout tropical and subtropical parts of state;
recorded also from PAitzcuaro.
_Specimens examined_, 3: nos. 52027, 52033 from TancA-taro and 8909 from
PAitzcuaro.
_Remarks._--These specimens answer well to the description of _R. r.
alexandrinus_ except that no. 8909, taken in May, 1901, by F. E. Lutz,
has yellowish underparts suggestive of _Rattus rattus frugivorous_. In
the town of TacAimbaro we saw a freshly killed rat of this species
which was all black.
