"A New Pocket Gopher (Genus Thomomys) From Wyoming and Colorado" by E. Raymond Hall is a scientific publication written in the early 1950s. This book presents a detailed description and classification of a new subspecies of pocket gopher found in the Sierra Madre Mountain Range of Wyoming and Colorado. The focus is on contributing to the field of natural history, specifically the taxonomy of small mammals. In this publication, Hall introduces the new subspecies, named Thomomys talpoides meritus, based on specimens collected from the region. He provides a thorough analysis of the physical characteristics, habitat, and measurements of this gopher compared to other subspecies. The study emphasizes the differences in size, color, and skull structure that distinguish T. t. meritus from its neighboring subspecies, T. t. rostralis and T. t. clusius. Overall, the work contributes valuable knowledge to the field of mammalogy and showcases the importance of detailed field research in understanding biodiversity.
