Speciation of the Wandering Shrew — Part 41

_Type._--Adult male, skin and skull; No. 100440, U. S. Biol. Surv. Coll.; obtained on May 29, 1900, by Vernon Bailey, from Cloudcroft, 9000 ft., Otero Co., New Mexico.

Speciation of the Wandering Shrew — Part 41

_Range._--Sacramento and Capitan Mountains of New Mexico.

_Diagnosis._--Size medium for the species; average and extreme measurements of 4 topotypes are: total length, 105.2 (103-107); tail, 41.0 (39-42); hind foot, 13.1 (12.5-14). Color near Olive Brown in summer; winter pelage unknown; skull large and relatively broad; teeth relatively large.

_Comparisons._--Skull larger than that of _S. v. obscurus_ and relatively somewhat broader; much larger in all cranial dimensions than _S. v. monticola_.

_Remarks._--_S. v. neomexicanus_ is a well-marked subspecies seemingly limited to the mountains of southeastern New Mexico. It is the only species of _Sorex_ thus far recorded from that area.

_Specimens examined._--Total number, 12. NEW MEXICO: _Otero Co._: SW slope Capitan Mts., 2 BS; 10 mi. NE Cloudcroft, 2 BS; Cloudcroft, 7 BS, 1 UM.

_Marginal records._--NEW MEXICO: SW slope Capitan Mts.; 10 mi. NE Cloudcroft; type locality.
