PURPOSE
The purpose of the following account is to: (1) Show what kinds of
chipmunks occur in Wyoming; (2) point out the interrelationships
between these kinds; and (3) account, where possible, for the present
distribution of these animals in Wyoming.
METHODS, MATERIALS, AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Capitalized color terms in the following accounts are of Ridgway,
"Color Standards and Color Nomenclature," Washington, D.C., 1912.
The measurements of the skull that were used in this study were
made as shown in White (1953:566, fig. 1). These are: Greatest
length of skull, zygomatic breadth, cranial breadth, length of
nasals, length of lower tooth-row, condylo-alveolar length of
mandible, and inner mandibular length.
Of the external measurements, only the total length and the length
of the tail are recorded in table 1. Some field collectors measured
the ear from the notch and others from the crown; most collectors
measured the length of the hindfoot to the nearest millimeter
rather than in tenths of a millimeter as would have been desirable.
Consequently, I decided against using the length of the ear and
hindfoot in this report.
When the word "significantly" is used in comparisons, it is meant
to show that there is a significant statist
