Summary:

"Two New Meadow Mice from Michoacán Mexico" by E. Raymond Hall is a scientific publication written in the late 1940s. This work belongs to the field of zoology and specifically focuses on the taxonomy and description of two new subspecies of meadow mice found in Michoacán, Mexico. The book provides detailed observations and comparisons based on specimens collected in the region. The publication details the identification and analysis of two new subspecies of the Mexican meadow mouse, "Microtus mexicanus fundatus" and "Microtus mexicanus salvus". Hall presents a thorough examination of their physical characteristics, such as size, color, and skull structure, comparing them to closely related subspecies. The observations were based on various specimens gathered in the vicinity of Pátzcuaro and Mount Tancitaro, highlighting the ecological context and habitat where these mice were discovered. The work is significant in contributing to the understanding of mammalian diversity in the region, documenting specific traits that differentiate these newly identified subspecies from others in the genus.
