t., 7:146, August 25, 1952) had done, because
_copei_ is paler, instead of darker, than _P. f. flavescens_. It was
Dr. Blair's suggestion which lead me to realize that the subspecies in
south-central Kansas lacked a name.

Through the courtesy of Miss Viola S. Schantz I have examined three of
the four specimens from Cairo, Kansas, that Osgood (N. Amer. Fauna,
18:21, September 20, 1900) referred to _Perognathus flavescens_ before
any subspecies of that species had been recognized. The specimens from
Cairo are intermediate in color, as they are also in geographic
position, between _P. f. flavescens_ from western Kansas and _P. f.
cockrumi_ from south-central Kansas but show more resemblance to the
latter and therefore are referred to _P. f. cockrumi_. The specimens,
excepting the three from Cairo, are in the Museum of Natural History at
the University of Kansas.
