Sorex vagrans permiliensis Jackson
Sorex obscurus permiliensis Jackson, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 31:128, November 29, 1918.
Type.—Adult male, skin and skull; No. 91048, U. S. Biol. Surv. Coll.; obtained on October 2, 1897, by J. A. Loring from Permilia Lake, W base Mt. Jefferson, Cascade Range, Marion Co., Oregon.
Range.—The Cascade Mountains of Oregon from Mt. Jefferson north to the Columbia River.
Diagnosis.—Size medium for the species; average and extreme measurements of 14 specimens from the type locality are: total length, 117.7 (110-124); tail, 51.9 (45-58); hind foot, 14.0 (14-15). Pale reddish in summer, darker and brownish in winter.
Comparisons.—For comparison with S. v. bairdi see account of that subspecies. Larger than S. v. setosus except tail relatively shorter. More reddish in summer pelage than setosus.
Remarks.—S. v. bairdi is larger in the southern part of its range than elsewhere. Specimens from McKenzie Bridge, herein referred to yaquinae, are intermediate in character between yaquinae and bairdi or between yaquinae and permiliensis. The transition between yaquinae and bairdi is much more gradual than between yaquinae and permiliensis.
