Two New Moles (Genus Scalopus) from Mexico and Texas

"Two New Moles (Genus Scalopus) from Mexico and Texas" by Rollin H. (Rollin Harold) Baker is a scientific report from the early 1950s that reveals two previously unknown types of moles in North America. Published as part of the University of Kansas Publications, Museum of Natural History, the report describes the "Scalopus montanus" mole, located in the mountains of Coahuila, Mexico, along with a subspecies called the "Scalopus aquaticus alleni" mole, found in Aransas County, Texas. The author uses detailed measurements and comparisons to existing mole species to prove that these moles are unique. The document also explores how the isolated location of the "S. montanus" mole and its subspecies contribute to the overall variety of moles. The report emphasizes the Sierra del Carmen's diverse wildlife and hints at the possibility of finding even more new species in the future.
