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
