About This Book

A field report presents specimens collected around Ciudad Victoria and along the humid eastern face of the Sierra Madre Oriental, providing systematic accounts for each mammal recorded. For each species the author supplies locality and specimen data, morphological notes, habitat observations, and brief natural-history remarks. The account covers marsupials, bats, lagomorphs, several squirrel species, pocket gophers and pocket mice, and documents range extensions of some tropical forms. Brief methodological notes describe trapping methods, cave captures, activity patterns, and reproductive condition of animals encountered.
