      Subspeciation in Pocket Gophers of Kansas

      By

      BERNARDO VILLA-R. AND E. RAYMOND HALL

      Several full species of the genus Geomys have been recorded from Kansas. The purpose of the study now reported upon was to determine the present taxonomic status of these animals and the distribution of each within the boundaries of Kansas. No pocket gopher of any kind has been reported from the southeastern part of the state; in all other parts Geomys is locally common.

      HISTORY

      The first published reference that we have found to pocket gophers of Kansas is Prof. Spencer F. Baird's (1857:377, 380) mention of two specimens from Fort Riley. One he identified as Geomys bursarius (p. 377) and the other (p. 380) he doubtfully referred to Geomys breviceps. Both specimens were obtained by Dr. W. A. Hammond. J. A. Allen (1874:49) reported pocket gophers from Kansas under the generic name Geomys?. Professor M. V. B. Knox (1875:21) published a list of Kansas mammals in which he used the names Geomys bursarius Shaw and Geomys breviceps Baird, the last one for the specimen taken by Dr. Hammond, at Fort Riley. Baker (1889:57) employed the name Geomys bursarius Rich. for the gopher found along the hundredth meridian, between N latitude 38° 30' and 39° 30'. He reported this animal as common in western Kansas. Merriam (1895:129) recorded G. bursarius and G. lutescens from Kansas. Allen (1895:265) recorded five specimens of Geomys lutescens collected between September 16 and October 13 at Long Island, Phillips County, Kansas, by W. W. Granger. Since that time several papers, some of them dealing mostly with habits of pocket gophers, have been
