Three specimens were examined. One is a pup from the vicinity of Padilla which is assigned to this subspecies on geographic grounds. The other two are skins, collected at Nicolás by natives, who deceived the collector by providing dog skulls with the coyote skins. These two specimens are referred to C. l. microdon on the basis of their dark color and dusky shading on the throat and chest. One has a rufous over-all color and the other is ochraceous yellowish. This difference in color suggests intergradation at this place between C. l. microdon that ranged to the northeast, C. l. cagottis to the south, and probably with C. l. impavidus distributed to the west.

Canis lupus monstrabilis Goldman
Gray Wolf

1937. Canis lupus monstrabilis Goldman, Jour. Mamm., 18:42, February 11, type from 10 mi. S Rankin, Upton Co., Texas.

On the maps of distribution of C. l. monstrabilis published by Leopold (1959:400) and Baker and Villa (1960:370), Tamaulipas is included in the region in which the wolf is considered to be extinct.

Urocyon cineroargenteus scottii Mearns
Gray Fox

1891. Urocyon virginianus scottii Mearns, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 3:236, June 5, type from Pinal Co., Arizona.

1895. Urocyon cinereo-argenteus scottii, J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 7:253, June.

The specimen from the Sierra Madre Oriental was obtained by a collector who used a rabbit call. Leopold (1959:408) reported that the highest elevation [about 2800 feet] at which he found gray fox in México was at Hacienda de Acuña, in the Sierra de Tamaulipas, where "dense, brushy draws and oak openings made ideal habitat." At this place Leopold saw, in early August, a family of foxes, four well-grown young and their parents. Dice (1937:250) reported U. c. texensis (a junior synonym of U. c. scottii), as abundant in the Sierra San Carlos.

The six specimens examined do not present any significant difference in size and shape of the skull from specimens of scottii from Arizona, except that one skull from the Sierra de Tamaulipas is smaller than the others, suggesting intergradation between the subspecies scottii and tropicalis from farther south.

Ursus americanus eremicus Merriam
Black Bear

1904. Ursus americanus eremicus Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 17:154, October 6, type from Sierra Guadalupe, Coahuila.

Bassariscus astutus flavus Rhoads
Ringtail

1894. Bassariscus astutus flavus Rhoads, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 45:417, January 30, type from Texas, exact locality unknown.

The two specimens examined provide the second record of this species in Tamaulipas; they were shot in the bottom of an arid canyon. One animal was about 30 feet up from the ground in an oak tree, and the other was along a small arroyo containing pools of water.

From Rhoads' paper (1893:416-417) on the genus Bassariscus it would seem that B. astutus flavus differs from B. a. astutus in smaller size, especially of the skull, shorter tail (shorter than head and body in flavus and longer than head and body in astutus) and the presence of fulvous color. Comparison of 10 specimens of B. a. flavus from Coahuila and Texas with two of B. a. astutus (Distrito Federal, 1; Las Vigas, Veracruz, 1) from central México reveals that the skulls do not differ qualitatively and that the skull of flavus tends to be smaller and relatively wider, but that there is overlap in size. In all flavus that I measured and in the two adults of astutus the tail is shorter than the head and body. The only real difference is the color; ringtails from Texas are deep fulvous instead of grayish as is astutus from the Distrito Federal and Veracruz. But the specimen from Veracruz has much fulvous and on the other hand specimens from Coahuila are more grayish than those from Texas.

The two specimens from Tamaulipas can be assigned to either subspecies astutus or flavus with almost equal propriety. Here they are referred to B. a. flavus on the basis of their relatively small skull, short tail, and presence of some fulvous color.

Procyon lotor
Racoon

Racoons occur all through the state. The one specimen examined was shot about 11:00 p. m. in a cypress tree. Its mouth contained fresh corn. The animal was notably fat and weighed 11 pounds. According to the natives the racoons do much damage in cornfields.

Procyon lotor fuscipes Mearns

1914. Procyon lotor fuscipes Mearns, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 27:63, March 20, type from Las Moras Creek, 1011 ft., Fort Clark, Kinney Co., Texas.

Procyon lotor hernandezii Wagler

1831. Pr[ocyon]. hernandezii Wagler, Isis von Oken, 24:514, type from Tlalpan, Valley of Mexico.

1890. Procyon lotor hernandezi, J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 3:176, December 10.

The specimen examined is identified as P. l. hernandezii because the animal differs from specimens of P. l. fuscipes from southern Texas and Coahuila in the same way that Goldman (1950:50) noted that P. l. hernandezii differs from P. l. fuscipes. For example, in the specimen from Rancho Santa Rosa the interorbital region is lower, the braincase is less depressed near the fronto-parietal suture, the postorbital process is longer and more pointed, and the upper carnassial is longer. The color is the same as in specimens of fuscipes from Texas except that the postauricular spot is smaller, and the ground color is slightly more grayish. The median dorsal area is black, forming a longitudinal band about 3 cm. wide.

Nasua narica molaris Merriam
Coati

1902. Nasua narica molaris Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 15:68, March 22, type from Manzanillo, Colima.

A male and female, both adults, from the same locality in the Sierra de Tamaulipas weighed, respectively, 3,150 grams and 4,836 grams. Three young from the same place weighed 2,250, 2,250, and 2,650 grams.

Potos flavus aztecus Thomas
Kinkajou

1902. Potos flavus aztecus Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 9:268, April, type from Atoyac, Veracruz.

Mustela frenata
Long-tailed Weasel

This species occurs in practically all of the state, but as in most other areas actual records are few; only two specimens, both males, have been examined. One was taken at Jaumave, in a steel-trap baited with fresh egg. It weighed 325 grams. The other was taken in the vicinity of Altamira and weighed 434 grams.

Two subspecies have been reported from Tamaulipas; Mustela frenata frenata that occurs in the central and northern parts of the state and M. f. tropicalis that occurs in the tropical area in the southern part of the state.

Mustela frenata frenata Lichtenstein

1831. Mustela frenata Lichtenstein, Darstellung neuer oder wenig bekannter Säugethiere ..., pl. 42 and corresponding text, unpaged, type from Ciudad México, México.

1877. Putorius mexicanus Coues, Fur-bearing animals, U. S. Geol. Surv. Territories, Misc. Publ., 8:42, a nomen nudum [cited by Coues in synonymy as "Putorius mexicanus, Berlandier, MMS. ic. ined. 4 (Tamaulipas and Matamoras)"].

The specimen from Jaumave is clearly M. f. frenata, but the other from northwest of Altamira has many characters of the subspecies M. f. tropicalis and is an intergrade between the two subspecies. In cranial features and in measurements the animal is like frenata. For example: least width of palate more than length of P4; distance between anterior border of auditory bulla and foramen ovale equal to the width of four (including I3) upper incisors; depth of tympanic bulla less than distance between it and foramen ovale; length of tail amounting to 82 per cent of length of head and body. The coloration is more nearly like that of tropicalis. For example, the region between the ears and the region behind the ears as far as the shoulders is almost black; hairs of the soles of the forefeet are of the same color as in tropicalis. But, width of the whitish underparts amounts to 53 per cent of the circumference of the body; in this respect the specimen is like frenata. I refer the specimen to frenata because, to me, it is slightly more nearly like it.

Mustela frenata tropicalis (Merriam)

1951. Eira barbara senex, Hershkovitz, Fieldiana-Zool., 31:561, July 10.

Taxidea taxus
Badger

The badger in Tamaulipas is poorly known because only a few specimens have been reported from the state. I have examined only two; one is the skull of a juvenile picked up in the sea along the barrier beach and the other is the skull of an adult male taken in a steel-trap baited with a bird body and rabbit meat. The trap was set in front of a hole in the semidesert area 12 miles south of San Carlos.

On their map 471 Hall and Kelson (1959:927) show a total of five subspecies of Taxidea taxus. They include the northern part of Tamaulipas in the geographic range of T. t. berlandieri. On page 926 Hall and Kelson (op. cit.) list ten additional subspecies described by Schantz. One of them T. t. littoralis (Schantz, 1949:301) was based on specimens from southeastern Texas and Matamoros, Tamaulipas. Of the two specimens examined by me the one from the barrier beach is here assigned to T. l. littoralis on geographic grounds, and the other one from the vicinity of San Carlos to T. l. berlandieri.

Taxidea taxus berlandieri Baird

1858. Taxidea berlandieri Baird, Mammals, in Repts. Expl. Surv. ..., 8(1):205, July 14, type from Llano Estacado, Texas, near boundary of New Mexico.

1895. Taxidea taxus berlandieri, J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 7:256, June 29.

The skull examined, of an adult male, differs from Coahuilan and New Mexican skulls in having a broad rostrum, better developed sagittal and lambdoidal crests, and smaller tympanic bullae. The measurements are greater than those given by Schantz (1949:302) for T. l. littoralis and it is for that reason that the skull examined is assigned to T. l. berlandieri.

Taxidea taxus littoralis Schantz

1949. Taxidea taxus littoralis Schantz, Jour. Mamm., 30:301, August 17, type from Corpus Christi, Nueces Co., Texas.

Spilogale putorius interrupta (Rafinesque)
Eastern Spotted Skunk

1820. Mephitis interrupta Rafinesque, Ann. Nat. ..., 1:3. Type locality, Upper Missouri River?.

1952. Spilogale putorious interrupta, McCarley, Texas Jour. Sci., 4:108, March 30.

The young male from La Pesca weighed 480 grams. In the Sierra de Tamaulipas a lactating female was taken (June 9) in a steel trap. A young male from there weighed 275 grams. The young male from three miles north of La Pesca weighed 520 grams.

Specimens from Tamaulipas are assigned to the subspecies interrupta following Van Gelder (1959:270-279). He regarded specimens from Tamaulipas as intergrades between S. p. interrupta and S. p. leucoparia.

Mephitis mephitis varians Gray
Striped Skunk

1837. Mephitis varians Gray, Charlesworth's Mag. Nat. Hist., 1:581. Type locality, Texas.

1936. Mephitis mephitis varians, Hall, Carnegie Inst. Washington, Publ., 473:66, November 20.

The two specimens from Jaumave are young; they were taken on different nights but in the same place. Weights of male and female, respectively, are 195 and 290 grams. The other three specimens, two young and an adult male, were brought to the collector (Bodley) by natives.

Conepatus mesoleucus mearnsi Merriam
Hog-nosed Skunk

1902. Conepatus mesoleucus mearnsi Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 15:163, August 6, type from Mason, Mason Co., Texas.

The specimens herein assigned to this species, represented by the skull only, differ conspicuously from those assigned to C. leuconotus only in breadth of M1.

Conepatus leuconotus texensis Merriam
Eastern Hog-nosed Skunk

1902. Conepatus leuconotus texensis Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 15:162, August 6, type from Brownsville, Cameron Co., Texas.

Three specimens are assigned to this species on the basis of the breadth of M1. In comparison with skulls from the type locality, those of Tamaulipan specimens are slightly smaller and narrower.

Felis concolor stanleyana Goldman
Puma

1938. Felis concolor stanleyana Goldman, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 51:63, March 18 (renaming of F. c. youngi Goldman, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 49:137, August 22, type from Bruni Ranch, near Bruni, Webb Co., Texas).

The two specimens examined are skulls only, which were picked up in the field. In general the measurements are like those given by Goldman (1946:233) for the males of Felis concolor stanleyana. But the skull from Miquihuana yielded measurements that suggest intergradation between F. c. stanleyana and F. c. azteca of the western mountains of Tamaulipas.

Felis onca veraecrucis Nelson and Goldman
Jaguar

1933. Felis onca veraecrucis Nelson and Goldman, Jour. Mamm., 14:236, August 17, type from San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz.

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 Gómez Farías.

Felis pardalis albescens Pucheran
Ocelot

1855. Felis albescens Pucheran, in I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, Mammiferes, in Petit-Thoaurs, Voyage autor du monde sur ... la Venus ..., Zoologie, p. 149, type locality, Arkansas.

1906. Felis pardalis albescens, J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 22:219, July 25.

Hall and Kelson (1959:961) reported from Tamaulipas two subspecies of Felis pardalis. According to Goldman (1943:379) the more northern of the two, F. p. albescens, is smaller than the more southern one, F. p. pardalis. The skull examined, of a young female, from 10 miles north of Altamira, in southern Tamaulipas, is small, smaller even than skulls of albescens from Texas used in comparison. For this reason I here assign the specimen examined to F. p. albescens instead of F. p. pardalis as did Hall and Kelson (op. cit.). Hooper (1953:4) and Dice (1937:251) report as F. p. pardalis specimens from 10 miles northeast of Zamorina and others from the Sierra San Carlos. I assume that specimens from these two places should be referred to albescens since the specimen from 10 miles north of Altamira, the southernmost locality represented in Tamaulipas, is here referred to albescens.

Odocoileus virginianus
White-tailed Deer

This species is relatively abundant in Tamaulipas from where three subspecies have been reported. Two specimens examined were shot at night.

Odocoileus virginianus miquihuanensis Goldman and Kellogg

1940. Odocoileus virginianus miquihuanensis Goldman and Kellogg, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 53:84, June 28, type from Sierra Madre Oriental, 6000 ft., near Miquihuana, Tamaulipas.

An adult male, having two points on each antler, and a young male were examined and identified as this subspecies because of their small size and dark color.

Odocoileus virginianus texanus (Mearns)

1951. Mazama americana temama, Hershkovitz. Fieldiana-Zool., Chicago Nat. Hist. Mus., 31:567, July 10.

The specimen examined is conspicuously darker than specimens from Veracruz and Chiapas, being especially more brownish and less reddish.

Antilocapra americana mexicana Merriam
Pronghorn

1901. Antilocapra americana mexicana Merriam, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 14:31, April 5, type from Sierra en Media, Chihuahua.

Antilocapra is here included on the basis of a skull recorded by Baird (1858:669) from Matamoros. J. A. Allen (1881:184) doubted the occurrence of this animal in Tamaulipas because Dr. Palmer found no indications of the presence of Antilocapra in any portion of the area that he traversed, which apparently was only southern Tamaulipas.

I am sure that the pronghorn is extinct in Tamaulipas, but its occurrence in the northern part of the state in relatively recent time (more than 100 years ago) seems possible because the habitat in northern Tamaulipas is suitable for the pronghorn.
