Knox Jones, Jr. is a scientific publication released in the early 1960s. This work documents the findings of various species of harvest mice collected in Central America, particularly focusing on their geographic distribution, physical characteristics, and the description of a newly identified subspecies from Nicaragua. The book presents a detailed analysis of specimens collected from different locations across Central America, providing insights into the taxonomy and variation of the harvest mice, particularly those belonging to the genus Reithrodontomys. It outlines the methodology of the research, significant findings concerning known species, and the characteristics that distinguish the new subspecies, referred to as "Reithrodontomys fulvescens meridionalis".
