"Geographic Distribution of the Pocket Mouse, Perognathus fasciatus" by J. Knox Jones, Jr. is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. The book delves into the geographic distribution and classification of the pocket mouse species, specifically examining various subspecies of Perognathus fasciatus across multiple states, including Montana, Wyoming, and Nebraska. The work serves as a thorough exploration of these mammals, their characteristics, and their habitats. In this publication, Jones provides a detailed account of the subspecies of Perognathus fasciatus, including their distinctive features such as pelage color, skull measurements, and geographic locations. The author acknowledges past contributions to the classification of these mice while presenting new findings that involve the recognition of an unrecognized subspecies. The text includes illustrations, data on specimen collections, and comparative analyses of cranial measurements, contributing to a richer understanding of the ecological distribution of these small rodents. Overall, the book is an important scholarly contribution to mammalogy, particularly in the context of understanding the taxonomy and habitat relationships of pocket mice.
