Chapter V: Part 5

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 assigned to _T. l. berlandieri_.

_Measurements._--The adult male measured as follows: 710;
115; 110; 55; condylobasal length, 123.1; zygomatic breadth,
81.1; mastoid breadth, 75.5; interorbital constriction,
29.3; least postorbital constriction, 27.6; length of
maxillary tooth-row, 42.7; P4, length, 11.9, width, 10.7;
M1, length, 11.7, width, 11.7; tympanic bulla, length, 23.3,
depth (from basioccipital), 12.8.

_Record of occurrence._--One specimen examined from 12 mi. S
San Carlos, 1300 ft.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Known only from two
localities in northeastern part of state.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--From Sierra de Tamaulipas
northward.

The young male from La Pesca weighed 480 grams. In the Sierra de Tamaulipas a lactating female was taken (June 9) in a steel trap. A young male from there weighed 275 grams. The young male from three miles north of La Pesca weighed 520 grams.

Specimens from Tamaulipas are assigned to the subspecies _interrupta_ following Van Gelder (1959:270-279). He regarded specimens from Tamaulipas as intergrades between _S. p. interrupta_ and _S. p. leucoparia_.

_Records of occurrence._--Specimens examined, 6: 9-1/2 mi.

The two specimens from Jaumave are young; they were taken on different nights but in the same place. Weights of male and female, respectively, are 195 and 290 grams. The other three specimens, two young and an adult male, were brought to the collector (Bodley) by natives.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Probably western part of
state, but presently known only from Nicolas.

The specimens herein assigned to this species, represented by the skull only, differ conspicuously from those assigned to _C. leuconotus_ only in breadth of M1.

_Measurements._--Measurements of a skull (sex undetermined)
from Nicolas are as follows: condylobasal length, 77.1;
zygomatic breadth, 52.9; postorbital constriction, 21.1;

Soc. Washington, 15:162, August 6, type from Brownsville,
Cameron Co., Texas.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--State-wide, except western
part.

Three specimens are assigned to this species on the basis of the breadth of M1. In comparison with skulls from the type locality, those of Tamaulipan specimens are slightly smaller and narrower.

_Measurements._--Some cranial measurements of a male adult
(old) from ten miles west and two miles south of Piedra are:
condylobasal length, 79.0; zygomatic breadth, 52.3;

=Felis concolor stanleyana= Goldman

Puma

1938. _Felis concolor stanleyana_ Goldman, Proc. Biol. Soc.
Washington, 51:63, March 18 (renaming of _F. c. youngi_
Goldman, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 49:137, August 22,
type from Bruni Ranch, near Bruni, Webb Co., Texas).

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Restricted to mountains of
state.

The two specimens examined are skulls only, which were picked up in the field. In general the measurements are like those given by Goldman (1946:233) for the males of _Felis concolor stanleyana_. But the skull from Miquihuana yielded measurements that suggest intergradation between _F. c. stanleyana_ and _F. c. azteca_ of the western mountains of Tamaulipas.

_Measurements._--Two skulls, one from Miquihuana and the
second from 9-1/2 mi. SW Padilla, yield measurements as
follows: greatest length, 214.0, 213.0; condylobasal length,
195.0, 190.0; zygomatic breadth, 146.0, 140.1; height of
skull (frontals to palate), 70.0, 72.4; interorbital
constriction, 41.6, 41.4; breadth of nasals (at posterior
union between premaxilla and maxilla), 20.1, 17.9; length of
maxillary tooth-row, 62.7, 63.3; crown length of P3, 23.3,
----; breadth of P3, 11.9, 12.2; anteroposterior diameter of
upper canine, 15.1, 15.3.

_Records of occurrence._--Specimens examined, 2: 9-1/2 mi.
SW Padilla, 800 ft., 1; Miquihuana, 6400 ft., 1.

Additional records: Matamoros (Goldman, 1946:234); Zamorina

=Felis onca veraecrucis= Nelson and Goldman

Jaguar

1933. _Felis onca veraecrucis_ Nelson and Goldman, Jour.
Mamm., 14:236, August 17, type from San Andres Tuxtla,
Veracruz.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Originally all of state; now
restricted to sparsely populated areas.

Only one cranium, from the Sierra de Tamaulipas, was examined. It is in good condition but lacks all the teeth except P3 and P4 on the right side. The measurements are larger than those given by Goodwin (1954:15) for a skull from five miles north of Gomez Farias.

_Measurements._--The cranium, sex undetermined, from the
Sierra de Tamaulipas, affords measurements as follows:
greatest length, 238.0; condylobasal length, 204.0;
zygomatic breadth, 166.0; breadth of rostrum, 66.1;
interorbital constriction, 48.2; mastoid breadth, 100.7;
crown length of carnassial, 24.1.

_Records of occurrence._--One specimen examined from Sierra
de Tamaulipas, 2 mi. S, 10 mi. W Piedra.

Additional records: between Aldama and Soto la Marina
(Nelson and Goldman, 1933:237); 5 km. N Gomez Farias
(Goodwin, 1954:15).

=Felis pardalis albescens= Pucheran

Ocelot

1855. _Felis albescens_ Pucheran, in I. Geoffroy
Saint-Hilaire, Mammiferes, in Petit-Thoaurs, Voyage autor du
monde sur ... _la Venus_ ..., Zoologie, p. 149, type
locality, Arkansas.

1906. _Felis pardalis albescens_, J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer.
Mus. Nat. Hist., 22:219, July 25.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--All of state, except part
west of Sierra Madre Oriental.

Hall and Kelson (1959:961) reported from Tamaulipas two subspecies of _Felis pardalis_. According to Goldman (1943:379) the more northern of the two, _F. p. albescens_, is smaller than the more southern one, _F. p. pardalis_. The skull examined, of a young female, from 10 miles north of Altamira, in southern Tamaulipas, is small, smaller even than skulls of _albescens_ from Texas used in comparison. For this reason I here assign the specimen examined to _F. p. albescens_ instead of _F. p. pardalis_ as did Hall and Kelson (_op. cit._). Hooper (1953:4) and Dice (1937:251) report as _F. p. pardalis_ specimens from 10 miles northeast of Zamorina and others from the Sierra San Carlos. I assume that specimens from these two places should be referred to _albescens_ since the specimen from 10 miles north of Altamira, the southernmost locality represented in Tamaulipas, is here referred to _albescens_.

_Measurements._--Skull, from 10 mi. N of Altamira, measured
as follows: condylobasal length, 97.3; zygomatic breadth,
77.6; squamosal constriction, 50.5; interorbital
constriction, 22.2; postorbital constriction, 32.1; length
of maxillary tooth-row, 34.7; length of upper carnassial
crown (outer side), 13.6.

_Records of occurrence._--One specimen examined, from 10 mi.
N Altamira.

of new mammals ... from the Mexican boundary line, p. 2,

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Probably occurs in western
half of state; known only from two localities.

The specimen examined was shot at night at about 3:00 a. m. in the beam of a headlight in typical scrub "monte." The native name for this bobcat in Tamaulipas is "gato rabon."

from Sierra Madre Oriental, 6000 ft., near Miquihuana,

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Throughout Sierra Madre
Oriental.

An adult male, having two points on each antler, and a young male were examined and identified as this subspecies because of their small size and dark color.

=Antilocapra americana mexicana= Merriam

Pronghorn

1901. _Antilocapra americana mexicana_ Merriam, Proc. Biol.
Soc. Washington, 14:31, April 5, type from Sierra en Media,
Chihuahua.

_Distribution in Tamaulipas._--Originally in the northern
part of state; now absent from Tamaulipas.

_Antilocapra_ is here included on the basis of a skull recorded by Baird (1858:669) from Matamoros. J. A. Allen (1881:184) doubted the occurrence of this animal in Tamaulipas because Dr. Palmer found no indications of the presence of _Antilocapra_ in any portion of the area that he traversed, which apparently was only southern Tamaulipas.

I am sure that the pronghorn is extinct in Tamaulipas, but its occurrence in the northern part of the state in relatively recent time (more than 100 years ago) seems possible because the habitat in northern Tamaulipas is suitable for the pronghorn.
