From G. b. lutescens, jugossicularis differs in less buffy coloration and deeper zygomatic plate of maxilla.
Remarks.—G. bursarius jugossicularis and G. bursarius industrius intergrade in the southern part of Meade County. Some specimens from this area show a coloration resembling that of G. b. jugossicularis; nevertheless, one specimen from Morton County has the occiput anterodorsally inclined as in G. b. industrius.
Specimens examined from Hamilton County correspond closely to G. b. jugossicularis; they agree with it both in color and in cranial characters.
Specimens examined.—Total number, 20, distributed as follows: Hamilton County: 1 mi. E Coolidge, Conard Farm, 4. Morton County: 12 mi. NE Elkhart, 2; Cimarron River, 12 mi. N Elkhart, 4; no locality more precise than county, 6. Seward County: 1 mi. E Arkalon, 4.
