Abstract
The specific identificatioin of the fulvous harvest mouse (Reithrodontomyx fglvexcen) in the vicinity of Pittsburg, Kansas has been in doubt. Although this locality is within the probable range set forth by Hall and Kelson (1959) no specimens have been reported taken from Crawford County. Long and Wiley (1961) referred material from owl pellets found near Pittsburg to R. megalotis. Long (1961) reported R. montanvx from McDonald County Missouri and R. montv1Zvx has also been collected in Ottawa County Oklahoma (KU 81948). A specimen (KSCP 620-B) of R. fulvexcenx was collected on 17 March 1966 at the Kansas State College of Pittsburg Natural History Research Reserve. This adult male mouse weighed 13.0 grams and had standard measurements of 158 X92 X 20 X 12 mm. This is the first recorded specimen of R. fglvexcenx collected from Crawford County.
