The skull examined, of an adult male, differs from Coahuilan and New Mexican skulls in having a broad rostrum, better developed sagittal and lambdoidal crests, and smaller tympanic bullae. The measurements are greater than those given by Schantz (1949:302) for _T. l. littoralis_ and it is for that reason that the skull examined is a.s.signed to _T. l.
