Abstract

Pocket mice of the subgenus Perognathus, especially those of the little known species Perognathus flavus Baird, present several interesting ecologic and taxonomic problems. A prerequisite of studies of these problems is a knowledge of extent of individual morphological variation attributable to age. A purpose of his paper is to investigate the relationship of age to size, molt and pelage, reproductive activity, and season in the silky pocket mouse. Another purpose is to analyze the summer food habits of P. flavus as revealed by study of several large series of pocket mice collected during August of 1958.
