Summary

Ticul Alvarez Noteworthy Mammals from Sinaloa…

In several of the past twelve years field parties from the Museum of Natural History have collected mammals in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Most of the collections contained only a modest number of specimens because they were made by groups that stopped for short periods on their way to or from other areas, but several collections are extensive. Field work by representatives of this institution now is underway in Sinaloa with the aim of acquiring materials suitable for treating the entire mammalian fauna of that state.

Ticul Alvarez Noteworthy Mammals from Sinaloa…

The two specimens from 1 mi. W Matatán were shot at late dusk as they foraged with other bats, presumably of the same species, low over water at the place where the Río San Antonio joins the larger Río Baluarte. The four individuals from 1⁄2 mi. S Concepción were captured in mist nets stretched across the Río de las Cañas at the Sinaloa-Nayarit border, and were taken shortly after dark at heights of three feet or less above the water. Our six specimens all are males. Five are in the reddish color phase and one is in the brownish phase.
