Summary

"Pleistocene Soricidae from San Josecito Cave, Nuevo Leon, Mexico" by James S. Findley is a scientific study from the 1950s that analyzes shrew fossils discovered in a Mexican cave, offering insights into ancient wildlife and environments. The publication identifies multiple shrew species, such as *Sorex cinereus*, *Sorex saussurei*, and *Cryptotis mexicana*, through detailed comparisons with present-day specimens. These fossilized remains reveal that wetter conditions once existed in the area, and the shrews' ranges were more extensive than previously understood. In all, the work is a relevant resource for individuals and researchers interested in ancient North American mammals and their ecological contexts.
