Two New Meadow Mice from Michoacán Mexico

"Two New Meadow Mice from Michoacán Mexico" by E. Raymond Hall is a scientific study from the 1940s that dives into the world of zoology to identify and describe two previously unknown types of meadow mice in Michoacán, Mexico. The study, using specimens collected in the area, gives thorough descriptions of "Microtus mexicanus fundatus" and "Microtus mexicanus salvus," comparing their physical traits like size, color, and skull structure to similar species. Focusing on mice found near Pátzcuaro and Mount Tancitaro, the work highlights the habitats where they were discovered and is important to understanding the variety of mammals in the region, as it records traits that set these newly identified subspecies apart.
