Brown (1908:174) originally named _grandis_ as a subspecies of
_fuscus_. Gidley and Gazin (1938:11) considered it a distinct species.
Whether _grandis_ is only a subspecies of _E. fuscus_ or a separate
species, _grandis_ is closely related to _fuscus_, and probably is
ancestral to it.
_Lasiurus cinereus_ (Palisot de Beauvois)
_Referred material_.--One cranium, lacking basioccipital,
tympanic and mastoid regions, and most of the dentition,
having only M3 on the right side and M2-M3 on the left, LACM
(CIT) 3160.
_Remarks._--The cranium of No. 3160 is inseparable from those of 10
spring-taken specimens of _L. c. cinereus_ from the San Gabriel Mts.,
Los Angeles Co., California (KU 49727, 49729-37). Measurements of No.
3160, followed by the average and extremes (in parentheses) of the
Californian series, are: Condylobasal length, 16.1, 16.5 (15.9-17.2);
zygomatic breadth, 12.3, 12.4 (12.0-12.7); least interorbital
constriction, 5.2, 5.4 (5.2-5.6); breadth of braincase, 8.7, 9.0
(8.5-9.3); length of palate not including terminal spine, 5.1, 5.3
(4.8-5.9). The teeth of the San Josecito specimen are comparatively
unworn. A label with the skull bears the notation "talus" in
parentheses, which, in so far as I am able to determine, indicates
surface talus i
