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.
