salis_, and _E. merriami_, see the accounts of those species. Baculum of _E. q. hopiensis_: Shaft thick; keel proportionally low, 1/3 of length of tip; tip 34 per cent of length of shaft; angle formed by tip and shaft 130 deg.; distal 1/3 of shaft slightly compressed laterally; shaft short, 2.64 mm. in length. Differs from _E. ruficaudus ruficaudus_, _E. r. simulans_, _E. cinereicollis_, and _E. quadrimaculatus_, in being shorter, proportions as in _E. q. quadrivittatus_; from _E. speciosus_, _E. panamintinus_, _E. umbrinus_, _E. palmeri_, and _E. bulleri_, in base not markedly widened, angle formed by tip and shaft larger; from _E. alpinus_, _E. minimus_, _E. townsendii_, _E. sonomae_, _E. amoenus_, _E. dorsalis_, and _E. merriami_, except for smaller size, as in _E. q. quadrivittatus_. Bacula of _E. q. hopiensis_ from northeastern Arizona are like those in typical _E. q. quadrivittatus_. The specimens from this region, to judge from parts of the animal other than the baculum, are intergrades between _E. q. hopiensis_ and _E. q. quadrivittatus_. Specimens from near Moab, Grand Co., Utah, are typical _E. q. hopiensis_ and the bacula of these specimens are considerably smaller than those of specimens of typical _E. q. quadrivittatus_. No bacula are known to me that are structurally intermediate between those of _E. q. quadrivittatus_ and _E. q. hopiensis_. _Specimens examined_: 21. _E. quadrivittatus quadrivittatus_: Colorado: _Gunnison Co._: Sapinero, 1 (BS). _Chaffee Co._: Unspecified, 1 (MM). _Saguache Co._: 5 mi.
