FINLEY, JR. The extensive collection of Mexican mammals made by Mr. J. R. Alcorn for the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History contains fourteen pinon mice from lava rocks eight miles northeast of the city of Durango, Mexico. These mice are all much darker than the pinon mice, _Peromyscus truei gentilis_, of adjoining areas in Durango and Zacatecas and show a superficial resemblance to the widespread _P. t. gratus_ which occurs 450 miles to the southeast.

All specimens examined of subspecies compared with the series of pinon mice from northeast of Durango are in the University of Kansas Museum of Natural History. Capitalized color names and designators are of Maerz and Paul, A Dictionary of Color, McGraw Hill Book Co., New York, 1930. I wish to acknowledge generous fina
