Remarks.—The range of S. v. orizabae probably is not now in contact with that of any other subspecies of S. vagrans, although judging by the slight degree of difference between orizabae and monticola the separation between the two has not been of great duration.
Sorex vagrans orizabae occurs with S. saussurei saussurei throughout the transverse volcanic belt.
