The yelage above is grayish, washed to a varying degree with yellow, and i somewhat bats; landerparts ace whith, Total ngth is 176 to 240 mm. Averages ind ranges of external measurements (in mm) of 164 to 165 male 211 female C. b- baileyi, respectively, are (Van de (Graf, 1975): total length, 210.8 (206 to 240), 201.4 (176 10 228), lengtn of tai, 114.0 (76 t0 140}, 109.2 (B6 to 125); length of hind foot, 26.6 (24 wo 38), 25.8 (21 to 29} length of ear, 9.5 (7 to 19), 9.2 (7 to 11). Average body mass of this sample is 28.2 g for mal and 26.5 for females, Ingles (1947) reported the range of me ‘siemens in mim) for C. bailey in Cafornia as total length, 200 to 281; length of tal, 110 to 136; length of bind fot, 26 to 28: length of ear, 9 to 11. Mean eranal measurements (in ma) for 122 males and 87 females, respectively, from Arizora and Sonora are: ‘ceipitonasl length, 30.3, 29.4 (n = 83} greatest breadth at mas teide, 15.9, 15.6; alveolar length of maxilary tothrow, 4.40 (n= 119), 4,35 (Hoffmeister, 1986), The tal is buff to gray abow whitish below, and strongly crested. The skull (ig. 2)'s large and oust; the mastoid side of the parietal is about equal in length to the frontal side (Hall, 1981). The interpaietal is relatively large, around 6.8 mm wide (Ingles, 1947). The dental formula is 1/1, ©0/0, p 1/1, m 3/3, total 20, asin other pocket mice. DISTRIBUTION.

The helicotrema connecting the scala vesbul and scala tympani is minute, only 0.004 main cross section. Unlike in Perognathus, there wa narrow perlymphatie channel connecting the scala vestibul and scala tympani ‘Van de Graff (1975) found baculum length directly related to amount of spermatoaos, that was related to the age of the animal ‘The ratio of kidney mas to body mas in C. bailey is 0.0040 to 0.0054, typical far rodents (Altschuler etal, 1979). As in the other species of Chactodipus and Perognathus studied, the outer medulla is thickened, the papilla of the inner medulla are lengthened, and Sensity of vasa recta inthe medullary tissue is increased (Altschuler etal, 1979). FUNCTION. Hayden and Lindberg (19708) found the bemo lobin-oxygen afin 10 be average for the genus; hemoglobin ball Saturation value is 4, C. baleyé capable of producing urine with high concentrations of urea and electroiytes, Schmidt-Nielsen etal (19480) found that on a diet of pure protein without water this Species produced urine with ures concentrations of 3,000 to 4,000 1M, twice as concentrated as thet of ‘Veotoma. In adition, i had Areater abilities to concentrate urine than Dipodomys merriam or 1D. spectabilis apd ved on diet of dey mesquite (Prosopis velutina) beans for atleast 32 days. In another stody, C.baileyt underwent 41 20% increase in body mass on diet of dry, nontoxic seeds and ate litle ueculent food even when avaiable (Sehmidt-Nielen et al, 19484), MacMillen and Hinds (1983) found that production of metabolic water equal evaporative water Toes at a relatively high temperature of 20.8%. "The mejor steroid produced by the adrenals is corti whereas the major steroid produced by muri rodents i corticosterone (Ogun- sua etal, 1971), Ogunsua et al. (1971) found thatthe adrenals of © baileyi converted ratiouetive progesterone to aldosterone in mounts equaling the conversion to cortzal. In laboratory tests, Teeiman and Levine (1969) showed thet 1]-bydroxyeoricosteraid in the plasma was not elevated under stress in C. bailey nei was in nonketeromyid species of wid mice.
