Summary:

"A New Pocket Mouse (Genus Perognathus) from Kansas" by E. Lendell Cockrum is a scientific publication written in the early 1950s. This work presents a detailed description of a new subspecies of pocket mouse, specifically named Perognathus flavus bunkeri, discovered in Kansas and its surrounding regions. The book is part of the University of Kansas Publications aimed at furthering the understanding of mammalian life in the Midwest. In this publication, Cockrum outlines the morphological characteristics that distinguish the newly classified subspecies from its closest relatives. The text details the size, coloration, and cranial measurements of Perognathus flavus bunkeri, providing comparisons with other subspecies to illustrate its unique traits. The descriptions include aspects of the mouse's habitat and geographic range, covering areas in western Nebraska, eastern Colorado, western Kansas, and western Oklahoma. Furthermore, the paper pays tribute to the contributions of Charles Dean Bunker to the study of Kansas mammals, indicating both scientific rigor and historical significance in the field of mammalogy.
